Cousins - film night with the Auckland Women's Centre

Announcing Te Wāhi Wahine o Tāmaki Makaurau’s- Auckland Women’s Centre’s next film fundraiser!

'Cousins' is a powerful story of three cousins who spend a lifetime in search of each other, separated by circumstances yet connected by blood. Based on Patricia Grace's classic novel.
Mata, Missy and Makareta. Three cousins. Three lives. Separated by circumstances, yet bound together by blood. Mata believes she has no whānau and lives out her lonely childhood in fear and bewilderment. Back home on the whenua, educated Makareta flees an arranged marriage to study law and begin the search for her missing cousin. She leaves behind cheeky yet dutiful Missy who takes on her role of kaitiaki (guardian) of the whenua. As the years pass, the women’s promise to bring their stolen cousin home seems more unlikely than ever, until a chance encounter changes everything.
