220 Miles is a stark, atmospheric documentary that dives into the often-ignored reality of family violence in rural New Zealand, specifically through the lens of the Waikato women's refuge, Te Whakaruruhau. The film has this raw honesty, capturing the struggles and resilience of women facing such adversity. Pacing feels deliberate, with moments of somber reflection alongside personal stories that unveil the complexity of their experiences. It's distinctive for its unfiltered portrayal—no gloss, just reality. Practical effects aren't a focus here, but the performances of the women sharing their stories are deeply affecting and carry a weight that's hard to shake off after viewing. It’s a tough watch but one that sheds light on important issues often relegated to the shadows.
