Exclusive Film Preview for Foundation - February 13
Posted by John Lynch
Rotary Foundation has confirmed negotiations for the release of a movie in February 2017 to raise funds for our Polio Eradication program. The Movie is HIDDEN FIGURES and we have booked Hoyts Forest Hill for Monday 13 February. The official Release Date is Thursday 16 February.
 
If we fill the cinemas we will raise approximately $ 1,200 for Polio Eradication and it will be matched 2 for 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. An enjoyable evening out to preview a "feel good" movie will contribute $ 3,600 towards Rotary's 30-year Project.
 
 
• HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae)
 
• Brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history:
 
• The launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanised the world.
 
• The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.
 
Date: Monday 13 February
Time: Screening starts 6:30 pm sharp
Cinema: Hoyts Forest Hill
Address: Cnr Mahoneys Rd & Canterbury Rd
Price: $20 per person
