The Women of Pike River

Twenty-nine men are laying down in a dirty, cold, wet hole, and nobody has been held accountable. They're not just a number.

Overview

On the 19th November 2010, 29 men were killed in a disaster that should never have happened. This is the Pike River story that hasn’t been told. It’s a story of courage, fortitude and determination. The unrelenting, cruel rollercoaster ride of the mothers, sisters and wives, who were given hope and then kicked-in-the-guts at every turn.
