Good People

Please note: The screening is on Tuesday next week NOT Thursday as the venue is not available to us that evening.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the very popular British film starring comedian Steve Coogan, The Penguin Lessons.
Our 8pm screening is the long awaited British drama, directed by the legendary Mike Leigh, Hard Truths.
THE PENGUIN LESSONS
UK, 2024, Comedy, 107 mins
Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce
Director: Peter Cattaneo
Based on the book of the same name, the story follows Tom Michell as a British teacher who travels to South America to teach at a boys' boarding school in Argentina in the 1970s.
Whilst on holiday in Uruguay, Tom finds a beach with many dead penguins soaked with oil. He sees that one penguin is still alive and takes it to his hotel to clean and feed it.
After that, the penguin keeps following him and, with the school term starting, Tom finally decides to take the penguin with him and smuggle it into the school.
"What starts as a quirky comedy about a cynical man, gradually becomes something more human and moving. A surprisingly wonderful and touching human dramedy." - Movie Geek
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Tuesday, 29th July at 6pm and Thursday, 14th August at 8pm

Some Choice News!
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!
