Set in a turbulent period of goldfields' history, "The Nine Lives of Kitty K." paints a vivid picture of pioneer life as told by the sons and daughters of those who lived it and survived the terrible Depression of the 1890s.
Kitty Kirk (1855-1930), arguably the toughest woman in Otago history, endured those times, supporting herself as a woman alone. Happiness was followed by tragedy, fame by infamy, and the circle was repeated more than once. Some locals called her a heroine, others called her a harlot. Whichever she was, she became a legend in her own lifetime for her daring deeds that are still remembered and talked about ninety years after her death.
Her life was a constant cycle of happiness followed by tragedy, fame by infamy, yet she endured. Based on a true story, The Nine Lives of Kitty K. paints a vivid picture of pioneer life on the Otago goldfields and during the terrible depression of the 1890s, and the agony of being a woman trying to make it alone.
