When Natasha Bray was drowned along with six others in a flash flood on the Mangetepopo River, the loss was felt all over New Zealand. What she left behind was not simply memories, but rather a unique way of looking at life that is impacting people deeply.

“Jumping In Puddles” is a deeply moving look at who Natasha was and the part that the tragedy played in her story as told through the eyes of her parents, friends and survivor Kish Proctor; but more than that, it is an opportunity to see into the heart of a young girl who had a vision to change her community.

When life was tough, when it was time to make the best of a difficult circumstance, Natasha would “jump in puddles.” That was her way of saying that she would take a deep breath and do it anyway. She was determined to make her life count for something – her story is inspiring others to stand and face their fears knowing that as they do things change.

The documentary, “Jumping In Puddles,” is a rare opportunity to experience tragedy turned into possibility. It features exclusive interviews with one of the survivors and follows Natasha’s parents as they retrace her final journey with beautifully shot footage of the river gorge bringing a poignant counterpoint to the tragic tale of that April afternoon.
