Rain of the Children (2008)
M Violence & Offensive Language - Documentary Drama - 102 Minutes
Director: Vincent Ward

A Woman Walks Between the Worlds of the Living and the Dead in Search of Her Lost Children.
Vincent Ward Weaves Drama with Documentary to Unravel the Extraordinary Story of Puhi, the Tuhoe Woman Who Welcomed the Young Filmmaker into Her Home in 1978. Ward Made the Observational Film in Spring One Plants Alone About Puhi’s Day-to-day Life in the Remote Urewera Ranges. By Then Almost 80, She Was Obsessively Caring for Her Schizophrenic Adult Son Niki, Whose Violent Fits Terrified Her. In This New Cinema Feature Ward Sets out to Unravel the Mystery That Has Haunted Him for 30 Years: Who Was Puhi?

This Is the Most Poetic and Resonant Film That This Wonderful Writer-director Has Produced. Rain of the Children Is a Maddening, Haunting, Moving and Extraordinarily Watchable Film."
- Graeme Tuckett, the Dominion Post, Wellington
