/>Evening at the movies
Just got back from tonight’s 1st Film Club, tired but contented. Obviously not as happy as the person who won the copy of This is England that we raffled after the screening.
Whilst the violence is appalling and the racism shocking, that film has a great soundtrack. (Well the girls who’d just handed in their essays had a good dance anyways…)
And Sam Tarry, who introduced this evening’s movie rightly pointed out that today’s BNP are still trying to peddle the same rubbish they were in the 80s in which the movie takes place. Stolen jobs, alien cultures and worthless wars.
For those that haven’t seen Hope not Hate’s campaign centre in East London, it is shaping up to be a vibrant hub for action and reminds me of the campaign offices we saw out in Ohio in 2008. We’ll have to plan a visit soon…
Pleasantly surprised the number of people asking what film we’re going to be screening next. Anyone got any favourite movies they think we need on the list?
