Our 8pm screening will be this year's Oscar winner for Best international film, The Zone of Interest.

Goodbye Julia
2023, Drama, English subtitles,
Rated M, 105 mins

Mona is a wealthy woman from the North of Khartoum. Her comfortable life as a professional singer is thrown into chaos when she accidentally causes the death of a poor man from the the Southern region.

With Southern Sudan campaigning for secession from the North, Mona decides to try to secretly atone for the man's death by employing Julia, his unsuspecting widow, as her live-in maid so she has a home for herself and her young son.

A wonderful story about overcoming prejudice and seeking forgiveness. - Film Online

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
