Good People
On Thursday the 3rd October at 6pm, WFS will be screening the French comedy, The Crime is Mine.
Our 8pm screening is the inspiring story of devotion and love with the French/Moroccan film, The Blue Caftan.
THE CRIME IS MINE
France, (English subtitles) 2023, Crime/Comedy, 102 mins, Rated PG
Cast: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, Fabrice Luchini
Paris, 1935 and the city is consumed by the news that Madeleine Verdier, a young movie starlet, has just been acquitted in court of murdering a famous French film Producer, as she claimed that she acted in self defence.
News of Madeline's vindication rapidly triggers a movement, with the courts scrambling to deal with women nationwide now inspired to rise up against the oppressive men in their lives and to claim an equal standing in society.
"A script full of wit and performances bursting with panache. The movie pays tribute to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and is a joy from start to finish." - Film Online

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
