The Great Bunny Hunt reflects an ethical, political, environmental and local issue mid-conversation. As there is no given answer to the rabbit population of Central Otago, New Zealand, this film grants an insight into a cultural and natural dynamic.

For the past nineteen years the Alexandra Lions Foundation has hosted an event that encourages New Zealand's twisted sense of humour. Easter Weekend 2010 commenced with approximately 500 people teaming up to shoot the Easter Bunny. The hunters filled Pioneer Park with a record kill of 23,064!
