Guided Tour, Talk and film ‘Overcoming Fate’
Jul 25 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm

Join our popular guided tour of the galleries, includes talk & film’ Overcoming Fate’

With Subtitles.

Hosted visit, open to individuals and small groups up to 8.

The museum opens at 10am, we will serve morning tea and start with a talk at 10.15am, the event will finish around 12noon, with free time to wander the exhibits.

$10 per person. Morning tea/coffee and biscuits included. Bookings not required.

See this deeply moving, creative and contemporary film interpretation of the Polish Pahiatua children’s story, as recalled 70 years on.

‘The heroes of my film are Polish children who survived deportation to Siberia together with their families, and then, as a result of exile in wartime, went to the port of Wellington [in New Zealand]’ says director Marek Lechowicz. ‘Most of these children lost their loved ones and have not yet visited the homeland’.

This hauntingly creative interpretation of the children’s stories, recalled 70 years later by participants, is accompanied by documentary footage and contemporary poetic and artistic works.

‘Overcoming Fate’ was filmed around New Zealand and in Poland. Screened nationwide on Polish television, it marks a milestone in national consciousness due to the former communist government’s suppression of Soviet involvement in the deportation of Polish families.
