Better Hearing Australia Central Coast (BHACC) will host a captioned movie event on March 18, during the NSW Seniors Festival.

BHACC is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation offering support, education and advocacy to Central Coast people with hearing loss.

With the theme Reach Beyond, the festival will deliver hundreds of free and discounted activities, workshops and performances for seniors across the state.

BHACC invites seniors to a captioned movie screening of Next Goal Wins at Avoca Beach Picture Theatre on Monday, March 18, at 2pm.

Next Goal Wins is based on the 2014 documentary about coach Thomas Rongen’s efforts to lead the infamously terrible American Samoan national football team to qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The movie, starring Michael Fassbender, is a humorous and heartfelt underdog story.

As the movie is captioned, it is suitable for people who have a hearing loss and members of the deaf community.

The first 100 movie tickets booked will be free and 100 free choc-top ice creams will be given out at the event.

After the 100 free tickets are booked, movie tickets will be sold at the discounted rate of $8.80.
