2008 LVHIFF RAIN OF THE CHILDREN

Documentary Feature Competition | US PREMIERE

Nearly 30 years ago, an old Maori woman, Puhi opened her home to 21-year-old filmmaker, Vincent Ward. In RAIN OF THE CHILDREN Ward sets out to uncover the truth about who Puhi really was, the curse that she believed was upon her, the tragedy of her 10 lost children, and the extraordinary events of a lifetime lived against a tumultuous historic canvas. The result is a complex and ultimately moving work of cinema. It comprises elements that encapsulate both an historic and a present day time frame. Ward’s personal journey is conveyed through his pieces to camera and his interviews with tribal elders and historians, spiked with dramatic footage that brings Puhi’s story to life.
