Good People

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.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
