Accept & Continue Whale Rider Mon 1 Jan 0001 - Mon 29 Oct 2018, Westlands Screening


With workshop from bootmakers of Wincanton.

Whale Rider won the audience awards at both Sundance and Toronto when it was released in 2003, playing to standing ovations. It’s a story about a young Maori girl who dreams of becoming chief of her people – but has to deal with the preconceptions of her people about what girls can and can’t do. The ending is truly transcendent, and unlike most films about and for children makes itself fresh, observant, tough and genuinely moving. This is one of those films that everyone should see, and ideally before they hit teenage years.

We are delighted to have the award winning Bootmakers of Wincanton come to Westlands Yeovil to give a creative craft workshop around the images and ideas of Whale Rider. Expect to use upcycled goods, lots of imagination, and please wear clothes that can get dirty.

Common Sense Media kids say this is for 9+
