Asians on Screen; Final Frontier
Hello good neighbours, the following event is coming to Christchurch and it would be awesome to give support to a Redwood raised young lady if you can make it.
Have you ever wondered why there aren’t many Asians in movies or T.V shows but the ones that appear on screen occasionally only play the stereotyped “Asian” roles?
Future Dragonz Christchurch is proud to present “Asians on Screen: the Final Frontier", proudly supported by the New Zealand Film Commission.
We are thrilled to have award winning New Zealand actress and playwright Alice Canton and Raymond Suen from the NZ Film Commission to discuss the awkward, confusing and downright hilarious questions around Asian representation in theatre and screen.
We will have free nibbles and would love to see you there and hear your thoughts.
When: 6 pm Tuesday 4 July 2017
Where: Upper Riccarton Library Community Room, 71 Main South Road.
Please RSVP your FREE ticket by clicking on this link here:

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
