Honestly, very few feature documentaries ever make it to cinemas, let alone make it to Week 3, let alone at this scale. But here we are…and it’s because of you. You read that right … THE FIRST HYMN has been given a third week in cinemas because of the tremendous demand. Across the country, we’re seeing something remarkable. People are hearing about THE FIRST HYMN from friends and family. Group bookings are rolling in and audiences are telling us that this is the kind of storyyou have to experience on the big screen. Thanks for the incredible support you’ve been pouring into THE FIRST HYMN. |

Also Consider hosting a movie fundraiser – with the partnership of
Wonder Events
Their latest offering is very topical at present –
“ONE LIFE starring Anthony Hopkins is one of the stories deserving to be told. The true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, who saved 669 children from the Holocaust by arranging their escape from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety on the brink of World War II.”
You can imagine that this is equivalent to the famous ‘Narnia’s 4 children’ moved to safety x 167.
Wonder Eventsbrings people together for local movie nights that celebrate connection and inspire community. And for those trips to the big screen,Wonder Tixoffers discounted cinema tickets – saving you around $10 each, with $1 from every ticket going to support trafficking survivors in Nepal.
It’s a small choice that makes a big impact. Next time you’re heading to the movies, letWonder Tixbe part of the experience. Together, we’re making a difference, one ticket at a time. So why not.
