Inspiring. How good is this?
Anna Osborne & Melanie Lynskey.
Sonya Rockhouse & Robyn Malcolm.
Four truly great New Zealanders. Leaders, Actors, Campaigners - Kiwi.
“Pike River”.
Every New Zealander must see this film.
The most incredible story of fighting for what is right portrayed in the most beautiful way.
After the premiere, Rowdy Durbridge (who lost his son Dan in the mine) said “nothing good came out of Pike, except every now and then a glimmer of hope, some sun, some light… This film one of those.”
Personally, I really liked what Director Rob Sarkies said, about “passing the baton”, in the fight for justice. The fight has to continue.
Unbelievably, there is still no justice for the Pike River 29.
Thank you to everyone involved in this film. A taonga for the rest of us.
