The Mountain

Madman, Piki Films & Sandy Lane Productions in association with New Zealand Film Commission and New Zealand on Air present a film by Rachel House.

The Mountain is a heartfelt drama about three children on a mission to find healing under the watchful eye of Taranaki Maunga, and discover friendship in the spirit of adventure.

Sam, a fearless young girl raised outside of her Māori culture, is determined to fulfil her mission of connecting with her mountain in the hope they can heal her from the cancer she battles. Along the way she meets some misfits and new kids in town - Mallory, hoping to find friends and Bronco who claims to be a runaway from his dad who is too busy to notice him. As they go through the difficult "off the beaten track" route, they learn the true spirit of adventure and the magic of friendship.

Don't miss the chance to be one of the first people in Aotearoa to see the wonderful family film.

At the 5:45 pm screening, there will be an introduction from the director Rachel House and the three leads, followed by a Q&A. They will also introduce the 8:15pm screening.
