Movie Review
Rain of the Children is a 2008 feature film written, directed and produced by Vincent Ward.
Rain of The Children was filmed on location in Tuhoe country in the Urewera ranges in New Zealand. The production returned to the places Puhi had lived and the sacred mountain, Maungapohatu, where traces of Rua's community still remain.
Rain of The Children's world premiere is at the Sydney Film Festival (In Competition) on 7 June 2008. It opens in other festivals around the world shortly after, and will open to international theatrical release in late 2008.
