15 Oct 2025

ASB Waterfront Theatre

Watch a special early showing of the much-anticipated New Zealand drama PIKE RIVER, followed by a conversation with the film's cast and crew and the subjects of the film Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse.

Madman Entertainment is thrilled to present a unique, one-off cinematic experience over one evening at Auckland's ASB Waterfront Theatre. Catch an early preview of the much-anticipated kiwi drama PIKE RIVER, followed by a conversation with the film's renowned cast and crew, along with our very special guests and subjects of the film Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse. Listen as the group discuss how they approached the still-resonant tragedy of the Pike River Mine explosion and found the uplifting story of friendship, solidarity and justice within it.

Three-time Emmy nominee Melanie Lynskey (YELLOW JACKETS, THE LAST OF US) and acclaimed New Zealand actress Robyn Malcolm (TOP OF THE LAKE, AFTER THE PARTY) star as Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse; two ordinary women who together stand up and take on the government, justice system and a company that will stop at nothing to protect itself, after the 2010 Pike River Mine explosion takes the lives of 29 men underground.

Powerful and deeply moving.

Incandescent filmmaking... shatteringly beautiful.
