Join us for Monday Matinees with Whale Rider, the inspiring 2002 film about a young Māori girl named Pai who challenges tradition and strives to become the leader of her tribe. Set against the stunning New Zealand coast, this moving story blends myth, culture, and the power of belief. Part of our Oceans of Possibilities Summer Reading theme, this screening honors the strength of sea-connected communities and the spirit of perseverance. Light refreshments provided—come be swept away by this heartfelt tale.
