Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday October 5th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 5th October at 6pm we have the wondrous French comedy, A Good Doctor.

Our 8pm screening is the mouth-watering French drama, Sugar and Stars.

The Good Doctor
Comedy, France, (English subtitles), Rated M, 90 mins.

Due to vacation shortages, Serge is the only emergency doctor in Paris making home visits to patients on Christmas Eve. But if the pressure wasn't enough, Serge is injured in an accident with an Uber Eats delivery driver, Malek.

Unable to complete the rest of his shift, Serge quickly hatches a plan and begs Malek to step into his shoes and act as a "medical consultant" to make sure that all of Serge's patients are visited and have the chance to have a happy Christmas.

"A feel-good Christmas film like you’ve ever seen before. Wonderful."

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
