Bloom
MEDIA RELEASE: AUGUST 30
A young girl and her mother grapple with grief after losing their sister and daughter to poisoning in the neighbouring river. In the process, they neglect the love that makes life worth living.
How can harmony be restored – between mother and daughter, and between the land and environment?
In this dystopian drama, young Wellington film-makers Lucy Cuthbert and Orion Holder-Monk explore the human cost of water pollution in an increasingly toxic Aotearoa.
Bloom is one of the Someday
Stories series of sustainability-focused short films by
emerging young film-makers from Aotearoa New Zealand. From
August 30 you can watch Bloom on Facebook
and Vimeo.
