Synopsis

Three-time Emmy nominee Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets, The Last of Us) and acclaimed NZ actress Robyn Malcolm (Top of the Lake, After the Party) star as Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse; two ordinary women who together stand up and take on the government, justice system and a company that will stop at nothing to protect itself, after the 2010 Pike River Mine explosion takes the lives of 29 men underground.

This is a film about the powerless vs. the powerful, of people vs. money, of right vs. wrong. An inspiring true story of an incredible female friendship and together what is possible when you simply won’t give up.

Screening at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX from May 14th.

Reviews

Helmed by magnificent performances from Melanie Lynskey and Robyn Malcolm, this fictional retelling is a form of collective closure years in the making.
RogerEbert.com
The story is told with restraint, in meticulous detail... never losing sight of the heartbreak and devastation.
The Guardian
It treats the people and the communities of the coast with palpable aroha and respect.
