The trailer for The Strength of Water, which screened at the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival.
Kimi and Melody are twins, the middle children in a family of Maori chicken farmers. Their lives are forever changed when Tai, a drifter, moves into his grandfather's abandoned house, now considered tapu. The film's main characters are outsiders who struggle to deal with the legacies of their families and a terrible accident that rattles the entire village.
