Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday April 20th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 20th April at 6pm we are screening the UK documentary, Lancaster

Our 8pm screening will be the Norwegian comedy, Everyone Hates Johan.

LANCASTER
UK, 2022, Documentary, 105 mins

The story of the iconic WW2 bomber told through the words of the last surviving crew members, re-mastered archive material and extraordinary aerial footage of the RAF’s last airworthy Lancaster.

Responsible for some of the most famous and infamous missions in WW2 history, from the Dambuster raids to the controversial bombing of Dresden, the Lancaster would help turn the tide of war.

But there was a price to be paid. Over 55,000 young men – half of all Bomber Command’s aircrew – died over Nazi-occupied Europe. Their average age was 22.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
