It was an emotional night in Greymouth last night as the Pike River film was screened for the first time publicly. The film tells the story of the ongoing fight of two women - Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse - for accountability for the explosion which killed their husband and son, and 27 other men in 2010.
It was the country's worst industrial disasters and 15 years on, the two women are still fighting for someone to be held responsible.They're now waiting for police and the Crown Solicitor to decide whether a prosecution or prosecutions will be brought, which they say they've been told will be before Christmas.
