The Mountain
Sam, a fearless young girl raised outside of her Māori culture, is determined to fulfil her mission of connecting with her mountain in the hope they can heal her from the cancer she battles.
Along the way she meets some misfits and new kids in town – Mallory, hoping to find friends, any kind of friends - and Bronco who claims to be a runaway from his dad who is too busy to notice him. As they make their way through the difficult “off the beaten track” route, they learn the true spirit of adventure and the magic of friendship.
“A heartfelt and charming adventure that taps into the innocence and wonder of childhood while also tackling deeper themes such as mortality and cultural legacy.” ~Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
“Throughout her impressive filmography, [Rachel] House has learned much from her collaborators and makes an endearing debut with this gem.” ~Abe Friedtanzer, The Film Experience
