1978

1978 — NZ Premiere / Q&A / Charity Screening on Friday the 28th of Aug at 7.30pm.

“Aotearoa New Zealand, 1978. In a small rural town, the Ropata family must pull together after their lives and community are turned upside down. When the local school faces closure, it's up to the youngest son and his friends to save it, cooking up one scheme after another as they battle the city kids for glory at the regional sports day. Meanwhile at home, the family is divided by something bigger, after one of the eldest sons joins the fight for Māori land rights at Bastion Point. As one of the most turbulent years in New Zealand history unfolds, can the family stay united and support each other through it all? ”Funny, moving, and unmistakably Kiwi, 1978 is a film for the whole family.

30% of all tickets sales from this screening will be gifted to Kahutara School.
