PLEASE NOTE: Our screenings at Forum North will be returning to Thursday nights as from next week.
So for Thursday the 27th June, WFS will be doing a special screening to celebrate Matariki.
It is the NZ comedy/drama, Uproar, starring Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver and Julian Dennison.
This is one night only - Screenings of Uproar will be at 6pm and 8pm.
UPROAR
2024, NZ, Comedy/Drama, 105 mins,

Cast: Julian Dennison, Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver, James Rolleston, Erana James. Director: Hamish Bennett, Paul Middleditch
Uproar is a heart-warming tale about connection and finding your place in the world.
The year is 1981 and 17-year-old Josh Waaka lives in Dunedin. He watches on as a rugby-obsessed New Zealand is divided over the impending arrival of the South African Springboks team.
Tensions are high and there are protests taking place nationwide.
Under pressure from home and his school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, feels inspired by the protests to find his own voice.
A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on an unexpected journey towards healing.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei
ONE NIGHT ONLY - Two screenings at 6pm and 8pm
