 Samba (2014) [Cert PG]: a showing of Toldano and Nakache's film at the Old School Community Centre at 7.30pm, organised by South Brent Refugee Support Network (see above). The team behind the runaway French hit, ‘The Untouchables’, reunite for another cross-cultural experience based on a novel by Delphine Coulin.  Samba (Omar Sy), an illegal immigrant, is willing to do whatever it takes to get working papers and has been trying to stay under the radar ever since he migrated to France from Senegal 10 years ago. When he meets Alice (Charlotte Gainsbourg), his caseworker at the immigration centre, who is suffering from burnout, she tries to help him stay in Paris. The pair forge an unexpected relationship leading them on an unlikely path that will change both irreparably. This film combines humour and compassion in equal measure. Wine and soft drinks will be available to buy before and after the event. No charge but donations appreciated; any profit will be forwarded to the refugee project in Kavala, Northern Greece, where South Brent’s Liz Sheldon is currently volunteering.
