Washday

Washday

Director Kath Akuhata-Brown / 2021 / New Zealand

As her father turns his car into a water pump, a little girl transforms into a force of nature.

Inspired by an ancient Māori story in which nature intermingles with a child’s love, Washday depicts – with tremendous sensitivity and compassion – a grieving father and daughter coming to terms with a significant death in 1960s New Zealand.
