Good People

The film night for Thursday 24th July for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the powerful and uplifting British drama starring Gillian Anderson, The Salt Path.

Our 8pm screening is the Irish drama based on the novel by Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These, starring Cillian Murphy.

THE SALT PATH
UK, 2024, Drama, 109 mins, Rated M
Cast: Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs

Based on the book of the same name, Raynor and Moth live a simple yet happy rural life in Staffordshire. But they lose their farm after a long legal battle with a neighbour and are left homeless.

They reach out to social security but learn there is a two-year wait for housing. And things quickly go from bad to worse for them when Moth is diagnosed with a fatal disease.

With few options, they decide to walk the thousand-kilometre-long South West Coast Path as they try to come to terms with losing everything and Moth's disease.

But as they walk together over many weeks and live simply in nature, they find that Moth slowly regains his strength.

"A tale of desperate penury that offers a star cast, gorgeous scenery and artful uplift."
- The Financial Times
