Grace: A Prayer For Peace

Synopsis

GRACE: A PRAYER FOR PEACE brings together filmmaker Dame Gaylene Preston and artist Dame Robin White (Ngāti Awa) — in an extraordinary collaboration. What begins as conversation evolves into a cinematic path across Aotearoa, Kiribati, and Japan, drawing rich connections between people, place, and art.

Through White’s art, the voices of her collaborators across the Pacific, and Preston’s astute and considered lens, the film reckons with legacies of environmental destruction, displacement, and injustice. Yet GRACE never loses sight of beauty and humour.

Strong, tender, and quietly transformative, the film offers both a warning and a space for contemplation — an invitation to see more clearly, feel more deeply, and respond with humanity.
