Good People

On Thursday the 25th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the powerful and inspiring film, Joika. It is the latest work by Kiwi writer/director James Napier Robertson and the story is based on the life of dancer, Joy Womak.

Our 8pm screening is the British comedy, Greatest Days.

JOIKA
New Zealand 2023, Drama
105 mins, Rated M (offensive Language)
Cast: Talia Ryder, Diane Kruger.

Written and directed by James Napier Robertson (who also wrote Whina), ‘Joika’ tells the story of Joy Womack, a fifteen-year old aspiring ballerina who becomes one of the first Non-Russian dancers to ever be accepted into the elite world of the Bolshoi Ballet.

Under legendary teacher Tatiyana Volkova, Joy trains with the goal of becoming a Prima Ballerina with the Bolshoi. But, behind the beauty of dance is a world of ruthless competition. Joy pushes her body and her mind in her single-minded journey to discover what it means to reach true greatness and perfection.

A fascinating revelation of what someone can do for success.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
