This Way of Life

Canadian cinematographer Thomas Burstyn makes his feature debut as a director with this beautiful documentary set in New Zealand's rugged Ruahine Mountains. The Karena family doesn't have any material wealth to boast about but they have a unique life style with their six beautiful kids and wild horses close to the nature that's as far from materialistic world you can get including TV, computers and games. While the parents suffer from the pressures of family and the society, the kids live an happy existence close to the nature and each other including horse riding on daily basis that would be the envy of many families. Burstyn chose the right family and story to tell which shows what we have lost in these days, a direct connection with nature. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
