Wednesday 11th October 2006 7pm
Exclusive Screening of this year's most controversial drama 'SHOOT THE MESSENGER' featuring cameos from Choice FM's Angie Le Mar & Richard Blackwood, followed by Q & A with the film's hard hitting, controversial writer Sharon Foster, winner of the Dennis Potter Award 2006.
This special free screening marked the 1st anniversary today of Talk of The Town and formed part of Rich Mix's Black History Month programme. Such was demand to attend this event, Rich Mix took the unprecedented step of cancelling a scheduled film and showed Shoot The Messenger simultaneously on 2 screens, followed by a combined Q&A session with Sharon Foster for both audiences.
Shoot The Messenger has divided opinion within the community and continues to be the topic of heated debate.
Hosted by DJ Elayne and Angela Reid.
VENUE : Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA.
THE PLOTJoe (David
Oyelowo) is a teacher with a mission. He's determined
to save the black youngsters at his school from a life of gangs, crime and underachievement – whether they like it or
not.
But when a seemingly minor incident rapidly escalates out of control and he loses his job, he turns against
his own community.
