Did you know that more than 75% of alleged abusers are family members? We hear awful stories in the media of older people being abused in care facilities, scammed on the internet or taunted by the general public, but for thousands of older New Zealander's the abuse happens in their own home.

MEAT is a revealing and thought-provoking documentary that does not tell you what to think - but shines a new light on the people, the land and everything that lies behind the supermarket shelves.

This premier screening will kick off at 7.30 pm on Saturday, and we’ll have a bar and some meat treats to set the scene, with the movie starting at 8.00pm.

One Screening only - 31st May, 7.00pm

“We’re eating World War 2's leftovers!” For the past 70 years chemical agriculture has been waging war on life.

This is the story of how corporate agribusiness is taking over the world’s food production revealed through historical archival footage, and shows how this system is destroying people’s health, economies and the ecology of the world.
Filmed on location in India, USA, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia THE WORM IS TURNING shows through amazing examples of ecological farming that in fact small ecological farms are more productive, they can feed more people better, and at the same time restore the environment. e c o l o g i c a l f a r m i n g is THE REAL REVOLUTION.
