With award winning actors, Judy Davis, Miriam Margoyles and Jacki Weaver this is a romping tale of a lost boy in search of heaven, three odd nuns on a mission, a car powered by God (and stolen money). This is a road trip like no other. A comedic near-tragedy that just keeps going South.

Nathan will talk about his recently released book – When Nothing Feels Real: How I Lost My Sense of Self and Found My Way Back, a memoir about living with depersonalisation, a mental illness that is frequently misunderstood.

We invite you to join other ABC Friends in the Blue Mountains for our regular meeting to discuss how we can best defend the ABC from attacks on its independence and funding. We welcome newcomers.
