THE MOUNTAIN, is the directorial debut of New Zealand actor Rachel House ONZM (Ngāti Mutunga, Te Atiawa, Kāi Tahu).
THE MOUNTAIN tells the story of three Kiwi kids on a mission: Sam, a young girl raised outside of her Māori culture, wants to connect with her maunga (mountain) in the hope that it will help her beat cancer. She’s joined by misfit Mallory and tough kid Bronco, “a guardian of Papatuanuku, our OG mother”.
