About the event
What makes a good film? In our opinion, it is one that:
- Brings you into the world of the characters
- Stays in your mind long after the credits have rolled
- One that you can spend time discussing - in great company!
We have sorted this for you. As part of the Westminster Conversations series and Black History Year, the BME Network invites you to a film screening of The Great Debaters. The movie follows The Wiley College debate team in Texas during the Great Depression, exploring themes of race and racial violence. The Great Debaters is a touching story based on real-life events.
Event programme
- 5:30pm - Arrival and snacks
- 6pm - Prompt movie start
- 8pm - Panel Discussion led by Bryan Bonaparte in which we'll cover the prevalent themes in the film such as injustice, representation and inclusion - and anything else the film makes you think about.
- 9pm - End
This event is open to all but might be particularly relevant to film students and those interested in seeing representation on the big screen.
To ensure you get a space, please book at least two days before the event.
Looking forward to seeing you there. We'll bring the popcorn!
