Father’s Day movie


The Mangawhai Chess Club is hosting a Father’s Day screening of the award-winning New Zealand film Whale Rider to raise funds to help club members take part in regional and national chess competitions in October.

In addition to the film screening, which will be held at the Mangawhai Movies on September 3 starting at 3.30pm, the event will feature a raffle for a grocery hamper including wine, chocolates and vouchers.

Whale Rider is the highly acclaimed 2003 film that saw Keisha Castle-Hughes, aged 13, nominated for an Academy Award for best actress.
