South Africa, 2025, Drama
98 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Lexi Ventner, Zikhona Bali
Director: Embeth Davidtz
It's 1980 in Rhodesia during the "Bush War" as agreements have finally been negotiated and change is in the air. British and white minority rule is to end and the black majority will take power to establish the country of Zimbabwe.
Based on the award winning-novel of the same name by Alexandra Fuller, the story follows Bobo, a seven-year-old white girl, raised on a gritty African farm who watches the historical events unfold. Bobo feels the tension in both her family and the servants but can see both sides of the story as a new community creates itself from the ashes of war.
"A powerful and wonderfully detailed film, with three outstanding performances." - The Guardian

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday April 23rd
Good People
Our next film night is on Thursday, 23rd April in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the "Rocumentary" covering the music and career of NZ musician, Shayne Carter, Life In One Chord.
Our 8pm screening is the touching and inspiring story of the woman who pioneered a new style of teaching for children, Maria Montessori.
LIFE IN ONE CHORD
NZ, Rockumentary, 2025, 93 mins,
Cast: Miranda Harcourt, Chris Knox
Director: Margaret Gordon
From the quiet suburbs of Dunedin, to countless packed venues and then signing with international record labels - indie music icon, Shayne Carter has never been one to follow the rules and his music shows it.
Life in One Chord chronicles Shane's early teenage punk ambitions, to then being swept up in the Dunedin sound, forming his first band Straitjacket Fits, and his later self reinvention with Dimmer.
Narrated by Carol Hirschfeld, Life in One Chord fuses candid interviews, extensive archival footage and Carter’s own reflections to capture the grit, chaos, and creativity behind his career and music.
"Dunedin may seem like an unlikely location for a musical revolution, yet it became the locus of an indie music movement that was heard around the world." - IMDB
Shayne is playing in Whangarei at The Woodshed, Riverside Drive on Saturday 2nd May.
