Weaving comedy and truth through her new collection of short stories, award-winning writer and journalist Michelle Duff's new novel Surplus Women explores power and patriarchy through women set in past, present and future Aotearoa. Hungry teenage girls, top detectives who forget to buy milk, frustrated archivists and duplicitous real estate agents, form a cast of 'surplus women'.

Pike River movie to premiere at Sydney Film Festival

Twenty-nine men were killed in one of New Zealand's worst mining disasters. Photo: The feature film Pike River will premiere at the Sydney Film Festival on Saturday, before its release in New Zealand later this year. The movie follows the families of the 29 men killed in one of the worst mining disasters in the country and their search for justice. Director Rob Sarkies said the crew worked closely with the families of the men who died in making the film, which was shot on location in Māwhera, Greymouth, Wellington and Auckland. Pike River features New Zealand actors Melanie Lynskey as Anna Osborne and Robyn Malcolm as Sonya Rockhouse. Osborne's husband, Milton, and Rockhouse's son, Ben, were among those killed in the mine explosion 15 years ago. Rockhouse has said the film had, in some way, helped with their healing. "Anna and I have found it to be an incredibly humbling experience to be involved in the film, with a crew of people who felt strongly about the injustices we suffered and wanted to tell our story." They are attending the film's premiere in Sydney together. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.
