As well as Gordon's story, the film traces the lives of several tenants living on his property, some of whom have mental health problems and claim to have nowhere else to live. "Gordonia" premiered at the 2010 New Zealand International Film Festival and was released in cinemas in Auckland and Wellington that same year.
