Key West NOW Women’s Film Fest Closes with “Whale Rider” 

By Women, About Women, FOR Everyone

Key West – After tremendous success, the Second Annual Women’s Film Festival will close its five-movie run with the inspiring “Whale Rider” this Wednesday, March 30th at the Tropic. Kiesha Castle-Hughs was the youngest Best Actor nominee for her role as a New Zealand Maori girl completing all the difficult requirements for her father and grandfather’s position as leader of their community, never before held by a female. Myth and magic combine with human drama in this dramatic, exciting film by Director Niki Caro.

The Key West Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) promotes woman’s rights to reproductive health care, fairness in education and employment, freedom from violence, justice for LGBTQIA citizens and life without racism. The Tropic Cinema is an award-winning, independent, non-profit theater showing popular, classic, foreign, regional and experimental films.

All showings begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available online at tropiccinema.com or at the door. For everyone’s safety, covid protection policy requires attendees to show a negative PCR done within the past 72 hours or offer a completed vaccination document and to wear masks.
