Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

PLEASE NOTE - There will be no screening on THURSDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER at Forum North as the venue is not available to us.

But on Thursday the 12th September at 6pm, WFS will be screening the New Zealand film, The Convert.

Our 8pm screening is the powerful French Film starring Isabelle Huppert, Sitting Duck.

THE CONVERT
New Zealand/UK, 2023, Drama
112 mins, Rated R13 (strong violence)
Cast: Guy Pearce, Antonio Te Maioha, Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne, Jacqueline McKenzie, Lawrence Makoare
Director: Lee Tamahore

When preacher, Thomas Munro arrives from the UK at the small coastal town of Epworth in the 1830s, New Zealand is a Māori world, dominated by fierce wars.

In a battle between tribes, Munro saves the life of Rangimai, the daughter of Maianui, a local chief. Maianui owns the land the people of Epworth lease in a delicate arrangement.

With tensions escalating, Munro and Rangimai decide to journey into uncharted territory in the hope of brokering peace between the warring tribes before the townspeople are attacked. However, Munro soon realises he's a pawn in a war between the two chiefs and must decide how he can best serve both the townsfolk and the local tribes.
