HO50s: Cinema Club for the 50s, The Sprinter, 4 Oct, Bernie Grant Arts Centre
The next film at the Haringey Over 50's Forum's Cinema Club is The Sprinter.
Synopsis:
THE SPRINTER tells the story of Akeem Sharp (Dale Elliott), who is set to be Jamaica's next big track-and-field sensation. Akeem hopes a rise in the track and field world will take him to the U.S. to reunite him with his mother (Lorrain Toussaint, Orange is the New Black), who has supported the family while living as an illegal resident for over a decade. But Akeem's rising star is weighed down by turmoil at home: a volatile father, and an unruly older brother who insinuates himself into Akeem's career as a means of escaping -- or perhaps enhancing -- his scam artist hustle. Not only does Akeem have to prove to himself and everyone that he can succeed, but also overcome the struggles that may ultimately bring him down.
Venue: Bernie Grant Arts Centre, Town Hall Approach Rd, London N15 4RX
Date: Friday, 4 Oct
Time: 2:30pm.
Cost: £4.90 includes coffee, tea and cakes
There are only 36 seats so please reserve your seat at info@ho50s.org.uk or call 0208 341 2238 to avoid disappointment. Please leave your name, email address and phone number. People who reserve seats will get priority. Walk ins welcome too.
