The River

When a young woman, Mihi, vanishes, three estranged cousins reunite to solve the mystery of her disappearance, with all paths leading to a river that flows both ways: Waihara.

Produced for Whakaata Māori and RNZ by Pito Productions

A female form drifts submerged in murky water, reflected above her is an ephemeral image of herself. The words "The River" are imposed over the image.
