The Garden Room - Documentary Screening

Join us for a screening of The Garden Room, a powerful New Zealand documentary that gives voice to a story too often carried in silence - stillbirth and baby loss.

Filmed with raw honesty, The Garden Room follows a Christchurch couple's journey after the stillbirth of their son. Told through candid, emotional interviews with the family themselves, the film doesn't shy away from grief but it also doesn't leave you there. A story about resilience, the quiet strength of families, and the hope that can grow even after unimaginable loss.

Between 400-500 stillbirths happen in New Zealand every year, yet it remains a subject rarely spoken about openly. This screening is a chance to sit with that reality, hear directly from a family who lived it, and be part of breaking the silence around baby loss.

What makes this screening special:

A rare opportunity to see this deeply personal, independently made film on the big screen

Post-screening discussion with director Kirsty Cameron

Limited seating - this is an intimate screening, not a mass release
