Good People

On Thursday the 4th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the comedy from Argentina, Let the dance begin.

Our 8pm screening is the hilarious British comedy/mystery starring Olivia Coleman, Wicked Little Letters.

LET THE DANCE BEGIN
Argentina (Subtitles), 2023, 99 mins Comedy/Drama, R13 (Offensive language)
Cast: Santiago Caranza, Darío Grandinetti, Jorge Marrale.

Some 30 years ago, Carlos and Margarita were the most famous tango couple in the world.

Carlos is now retired and has moved to Spain, while Margarita remains in her home in Buenos Aires, immersed in a life of solitude.

A major event compels the couple to reunite and begin a journey across Argentina with their long-time friend Pichuquito. It's a road-trip which will see the three of them relive memories, reveal long held secrets and their true desires.

A gem of a film. The music and the scenery provide the foundations in equal measure and the actors are delightful. - IMDB

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!
