Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday April 18th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday, the 18th April at 6pm WFS will be screening the inspiring drama, One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins.

Our 8pm screening will be the wildly entertaining documentary about the history of LP album cover design, Squaring the Circle.

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO film screenings by WFS on Thursday 11th April due to the venue not being available.

ONE LIFE
UK, 2023, Drama, 105 mins, Rated PG
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Lena Olin, Helena Bonham Carter, Jonathan Pryce. Director: James Hawes

The true story of Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, personally rescued over 600 children from Czechoslovakia as Nazi troops invaded.

Years later, Nicky's quiet humanitarian act is recognised and celebrated by a UK TV show who have tracked down and spoken with some of the children Nicky saved. The story of Nicky's heroic deed is broadcast to the nation and the people whose lives he saved finally have a chance to thank him.

An inspiring story of one person who risks everything to save lives during World War II. Anthony Hopkins is excellent.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
