Good People
On Thursday, the 25th April at 6pm, WFS will be screening the film version of the best-selling book, Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.
Our 8pm screening will be the inspiring drama, One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins.
PLEASE NOTE: There are NO film screenings by WFS on the following Thursday, the 2nd May due to the venue not being available.
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret
2023, Comedy/Drama, Rated PG
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Abby Ryder Fortson, Elle Graham and Kathy Bates
Margaret is just 11 when she moves with her family to a new town. The change inspires Margaret to think about everything that is going on with her life and in her friendships.
Margaret relies on her mother, Barbara and her grandmother, Sylvia for love and support. They too, are coming to terms with the next phase of her lives in a new town. Three generations of women consider their place in the world and what brings meaning to their lives.
A touching adaptation of a book which means so much to so many. "Are You There?" shows us relationships that balance humour and heart and asks the big questions.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
