Good People

On Thursday the 25th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the powerful and inspiring film, Joika. It is the latest work by Kiwi writer/director James Napier Robertson and the story is based on the life of dancer, Joy Womak.

Our 8pm screening is the British comedy, Greatest Days.

JOIKA
New Zealand 2023, Drama
105 mins, Rated M (offensive Language)
Cast: Talia Ryder, Diane Kruger.

Written and directed by James Napier Robertson (who also wrote Whina), ‘Joika’ tells the story of Joy Womack, a fifteen-year old aspiring ballerina who becomes one of the first Non-Russian dancers to ever be accepted into the elite world of the Bolshoi Ballet.

Under legendary teacher Tatiyana Volkova, Joy trains with the goal of becoming a Prima Ballerina with the Bolshoi. But, behind the beauty of dance is a world of ruthless competition. Joy pushes her body and her mind in her single-minded journey to discover what it means to reach true greatness and perfection.

A fascinating revelation of what someone can do for success.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
