1945 was a pivotal year in British history. The unity that carried Britain through the war allied to the bitter memories of the inter-war years led to a vision of a better society. Director Ken Loach has used film from Britain's regional and national archives, alongside sound recordings and contemporary interviews to create a rich political and social narrative. THE SPIRIT OF '45 hopes to illuminate and celebrate a period of unprecedented community spirit in the UK, the impact of which endured for many years and which may yet be rediscovered today.

The film is 90 minutes long so we will be starting the showing promptly at 7:30 and having a break half way through. We hope to have a Q&A session at the end of the film.

Doors open at 6:45, donations are asked for at the door and delicious and healthy food is available at the bar.
