2025 Term 3 Waikato PPTA NET Movie Night

ROOM CHANGE - SEE BELOW!

Join us for a community screening of We Were Dangerous . Film synopsis: In 1954 New Zealand, Nellie and Daisy attempt to escape an institution for delinquent girls, but they are caught and it triggers a relocation to a facility on a remote island. The duo become a trio as well-to-do Lou joins them, and life on the island takes shape under the command of the devout Matron. The trio rail against the system, dubious of the benevolence of the bible and taking refuge in their blossoming friendship. It’s hard to reform girls who don’t believe they need reforming. However, a sense of doom settles in when experimental forms of punishment take place in the dead of night. Nellie and Daisy plot rebellion, but unexpectedly find themselves at odds with Lou, who is afraid to break the rules.

Tickets are FREE! Snacks and refreshments provided. Please arrive at the Waikato Diocesan Lecture Theatre Piki Centre, upstairs room PM7 around 5.30pm for meeting our community. The film will start at 6.00pm. Access to this room is easiest via the Martin St Gate 3 parking.
