The Justice of Bunny King

Films like this simply do not get made without the generosity and passion of many. The Justice of Bunny King is a film that celebrates the courage of ordinary women facing extraordinary struggles, and I look forward to bringing it home for the women of Aotearoa who inspired it.

– Debut director Gaysorn Thavat on making her debut feature, in a press release for the film

I think it's a really important story and one that gives a voice to people who are often not heard. Bunny is a woman full of life and full of fury who will never give up on her children.

– Lead actor Essie Davis on the character of Bunny King, in a press release for the film

I'm attracted to stories that mean something and that are worth telling. I knew that it was a female lead and it was using a female director, and director of photography, editor, producer, writer and so was really attracted to that power it had behind it.

Reuben? I'm sorry. I stuffed up.

– Bunny (Essie Clarke) makes a tearful phone call to her son Reuben (Angus Stevens)

This film burrowed under my skin and went straight to my heart.

I wish we could just drive away into a new life...
