Her Majesty

Streaming video - 2001

As a small New Zealand town prepares for a once-in-a-lifetime royal visit, a popular thirteen-year old girl, Elizabeth, who dreams of meeting the Queen, finds her fervent hopes put in jeopardy when she develops an unlikely, life-changing friendship with Hira, an elderly Maori woman outcast from society. Elizabeth’s true character is tested when she must choose between marching in the ceremonial parade of her dreams with a chance to personally meet the Queen and her loyalty to Hira, whose defiant insistence on maintaining and defending her home against all odds teaches Elizabeth the importance of standing up for what she believes in. Winner of Best Actress at the **San Diego Film Festival**. Winner of Best Costume Design at the **New Zeala...nd Film and TV Awards**. *"Gordon's nifty scenario juggles various aspects -- ordinary brink-of-adolescence growing pains, multicultural-tolerance lessons, suspense gambits -- with entertaining skill."* - Dennis Harvey, ***Variety***
