BME Film Screenings with Cinema for All.
In conjunction with Cinema for All, we are screening 4 fabulous films which are chosen by some of the diverse women’s groups we work with. These films are not screened in mainstream cinema therefore this a rare opportunity to watch these films in a women only and relaxed environment.

The film will be followed by an informal discussion and refreshments will be provided.

I am a Girl (15)
There is a group of people in the world today who are more persecuted than anyone else, but they are not political or religious activists. They are girls. Being born a girl means you are more likely to be subjected to violence, disease, poverty and disadvantage than any other group.

In I am a Girl, we meet 14-year-old Kimsey from Cambodia, forced to sell her virginity at 12; Aziza from Afghanistan, who will be shot if she goes to school; Breani, a teen living in a ghetto of NYC and dreaming of stardom; Katie from Australia, who is recovering from a suicide attempt; Habiba from Cameroon, betrothed to a man 20 years her senior; and Manu from Papua New Guinea, about to become a mother at 14 following her first sexual encounter. As they come of age in the way their culture dictates, we see remarkable heart-warming stories of resilience, bravery and humor.

The film will be followed by an informal discussion and refreshments will be provided.

Crèche and travel expenses reimbursed on request. This screening event is suitable for 16+ and open for women only.

Thursday 26th November, 12pm to 2pm*
