I organized an AMA/Q&A with Robert Sarkies, New Zealand filmmaker, whose film Pike River (about the 2010 Pike River mining disaster) just released. It stars the legendeary Melanie Lynskey.
It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:
He'll be back on Monday 2/9 to answer questions (5 PM ET). I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
I checked with the mods here in advance for approval.

Synopsis:
On Nov. 19, 2010, a coal mine explosion in New Zealand kills Anna Osborne's husband and Sonya Rockhouse's son, along with 27 other men. The two women soon embark on a quest for truth and justice, leading to change they never thought possible.
