The Colour

Joseph and Harriet Blackstone leave Norfolk to start anew in New Zealand, seeking fortune and a fresh start. Yet, the unforgiving land near Christchurch nearly crushes their hopes. When Joseph discovers gold in a creek, he becomes consumed by an intense desire for the wealth hidden beneath the earth. Leaving behind his farm and family, he ventures alone to the distant goldfields beyond the Southern Alps—a harsh and lawless place where many, driven by the lure of gold, face violent fates. Both poignant and chilling, The Colour tells a story of chasing the unattainable, delving into the complexities of love, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of happiness.
