Four of New Zealand's most celebrated artists journey to Fiordland. Over the course of a 5 day voyage they not only explore the most spectacular landscapes on earth, but embark on their own artistic response to the wilderness and to its history - in particular the legacy of William Hodges, ship's artist with Captain Cook in 1773. The Waterfall brings some of New Zealand's most renowned contemporary artists to Fiordland, and to the screen: Gerda Leenards, John Walsh, Nigel Brown and Melvin 'Pat' Day. The story follows the artistic process of each, from the sketches "en plain air" to the final artwork. A work of art in itself, The Waterfall combines good characters, a great yarn, humour and stunning imagery within the natural canvas of World Heritage Status Fiordland.
