  Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo

  daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

  family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

  set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

  It has not been released yet - it is just doing film festivals

  It is expected to have a 'general cinema' release this year - I would then expect it'll be available on DVD etc

  I understand that the 'legacies' listed for Plymouth St Budeaux in 2012, of £360,000.00, and in 2013, of £140,000.00 where from the sale of KH property, and NOT legacies, as per the OP chart.
