Good People
The film night for TUESDAY 23rd September (NOT Thursday) for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the inspiring documentary about a couple who attempt to breathe new life into their dying family farm, WILDING.
Our 8pm screening is the gentle, intelligent and profoundly beautiful film from Georgia, CROSSING.
WILDING
UK, Documentary, 89 mins
Starring: Isabella Tree, Charlie Burrell
Directed by: David Allen
Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book of the same name, this charming documentary tells the incredible story of a young couple who bet on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.
Aiming to revitalise their lands, Isabella and Charlie set to work utilising a completely untested yet ground breaking vision.
They begin by ripping down fences as they return their land to nature, entrusting its recovery to a motley mix of animals, both tame and wild.
It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most fascinating and significant rewilding projects in Europe.
“Tree and Burrell’s extraordinary scheme will give hope to anyone concerned about the challenges the Earth faces after centuries of industrial farming.” – London Film Festival

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
