May 4: ORDINARY ANGELS
Find Your Purpose. Make A Difference
OSCAR winner, Hilary Swank leads this drama inspired by the true story of a hairdresser who single-handedly rallies an entire community to help a widowed father save his critically ill young daughter. Ordinary Angels is based on a true story.
Stuff, Waikato Times, Graeme Tuckett 3.5/5 “Ordinary Angels is Swank’s world and everyone else involved is just lucky to be living in it. I walked out of the cinema happy that Swank – and some nicely inventive and understated work from cinematographer Maya Bankovic had salvaged what could have been an unwatchably saccharine couple of hours. “

ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out?
Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst.
DIRECTOR: James Hawes
WRITER: Lucinda Coxon, Nick Drake
