Director Robert Sarkies will appear along with Pike family members Sonya Rockhouse and Anna Osborne for a post-screening Q&A.

Three-time Emmy nominee Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets, The Last of Us) and acclaimed Kiwi actress Robyn Malcolm (Top of the Lake, After the Party) lead this powerful true story of courage, friendship and the fight for justice.

After the 2010 Pike River Mine explosion claims the lives of 29 men, two ordinary women — Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse — refuse to stay silent. Taking on the government, the justice system and a company determined to protect itself, they become an unstoppable force in a battle of people vs power.

A gripping, deeply human story about resilience, truth and what’s possible when you simply won’t give up.

Thanks to the support of Film Dunedin, Rialto Cinemas and Madman Entertainment, 100% of ticket sales for this event will go to support the refurbishment of Dunedin's Playhouse Theatre, in honour of Robert's personal connection to the theatre.

"Standing on stage as a kid entertaining an audience, there's a thrill in that. That's probably one of the reasons why, as a filmmaker, I always have my audience in mind. You're putting on a show, people are buying tickets, and you're there to take them on a journey. It's a fantastic thing to be able to do; it's a privilege."
