This film is about a little remembered incident in the tiny township of Aramoana in New Zealand in 1990.

There is not a great deal to say about this movies except that it is an extremely harrowing account of what happened over 2 days in this quiet and somewhat sleepy township.
What makes this film so unnerving is the way in which it was shot. Not a great deal of dialogue, we were allowed to watch and see this terrible piece of history unfold in virtual real-time and were allowed get to know many of the victims and their families just prior to and during the events of those 2 days.
This I feel made the film a cut above the normal type of movies of this kind and extremely well directed by Robert Sarkies.
This is one film which will live in my memory for a long time to come and I thoroughly recommend it.
