On Thursday, the 28th March at 6pm WFS will be screening the Brazilian black comedy, Charcoal.

Our 8pm screening will be the UK Drama directed by Ken Loach, The Old Oak.

Charcoal Brazil, (English Subtitles), 2023 Comedy/Thriller, 105 mins, Rated M

In the Brazilian countryside, a family straining under the financial burden of caring for their sick grandfather are quietly offered a deal. Their bills will be covered if they take in a lodger.

They agree and it seems like their prayers have been answered but they then discover their guest is a drug lord who has faked his death. The family must pretend all is okay as they work to get their old lives back.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.

Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

Glen from Central Whangarei

Massive changes have been announced for disability funding. Rules have changed overnight, and restrictions enforced immediately with no warning—those with severely disabled children. Mums and dads are on duty 24/7 and looking after dependent children; these people are the first target.

Our government targeting the weakest in society for cuts. Just nasty


Now, MSD is going to target give-a-little pages supporting sick people.

This is going to lead to more suicides, poverty-related crime, and more desperation.

.
I wrote about disabled people and marginalisation, and here is my book titled.
