The proverbial water is not under the bridge in this town. 'Bridge under the Water' is a documentary about Cromwell, a small town in Central Otago where the residents were forced to negotiate the rising waters behind Clyde Dam, the last of Muldoon’s ‘Think Big Projects’ of the 1980s. The film follows those most affected by the dam on a journey of remembrance of their past. Most remember it fondly, some not so much. The question this film begs is how do you remember the past when parts of it are submerged under water?
A website dedicated to the film and consequential publication of Bridge under the Water will be produced once the principle photography is shot, so WATCH THIS SPACE! Follow the Bridge under the Water blog and take part in a social document specific to Central Otago, New Zealand.
