Whangarei Film Society
Good people
This Thursday we are screening Minimata, starring Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy.
Hope to see you there.
In the 70s, W. Eugene Smith is famous for his “photographic essays” published in Life magazine. He is contacted by Aileen, a passionate Japanese translator, who urges Smith to visit Minimata in Japan to document the devastating effect of mercury poisoning and Minamata disease in coastal communities.
This disease is caused by industrial pollution linked to the activities of the chemical company, Chisso. So Smith must win the trust of the broken community and find the images that will bring this story to the world.
Showing in the Captaine Bougainville Theatre, Forum North, 7 Rust Ave, Whangarei on Thursday 15th July at 6pm.
Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. $15 Non members.All welcome. Cash only please – no Eftpos available.
