  • DATE ANNOUNCEMENT - 2nd Screening!

      9 August 2024

    There was lots of positve feedback from everyone who viewed the film and several requests to share the film with friends and family. A few donors were also unable to watch our previous screening and have been waiting to hear about a new date.

    Good news! Filmmakers Jay and Susan have kindly given us permission to show a 2nd screening, and we are now pleased to announce the following date - Sunday 25th August @ 7.30pm.

    If you know anyone who may be keen to view, please let them know about the 2nd screening and share this givealittle page with them. If you would like to watch again, there is no need to donate again. :-)

  • Did you miss the event? Do you have friends and family that would like to view?

      24 May 2024

    We received lots of positve feedback from everyone who viewed the film last weekend. There have also been lots of questions about whether the film will be made available for others to watch, but at this stage the film producers would prefer it was just shown through community screenings.

    As there were a few people who were unable to attend and others who are keen to watch, Jay and Susan have permitted us to show a 2ND SCREENING. They are very busy with booked screenings in different parts of the world at the moment so they would probably be unable to join us for Q&A this time, but we would like to show the film, and at a time that would suit most people.

    PLEASE EMAIL US if there are DAYS / TIMES BEST FOR YOU, or IF THERE ARE TIMES THAT DO NOT WORK FOR YOU: jo.davies@pws.org.nz

    Those who have already donated / registered will be sent a 2nd link when a suitable date / time is decided.

    If you know anyone else who may be keen to view, please let them know there will be a 2nd screening and share this givealittle page with them.

    There are a few donors that we don't have an email address for. If you did not receive an email invite for the original screening, please check if your donation was one of the below and get in touch as above:

    Thanks!
