An independent Telford cinema will be celebrating Black History Month with a red carpet premiere as events launch throughout the borough.
Wellington Orbit, in collaboration with Telford & Wrekin Council, will be screening The Woman King with an opening night premiere on Friday, October 7.
The Woman King centres around a group of female warriors protecting the African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s, starring Academy Award winner Viola Davis. There will also be a talk from Chantelle Lunt – a national civil rights campaigner working to decolonise communities and promote racial equality, as well as artwork from Hanifa Hudson and a display from Christopher Day, a glassblower showcasing his signature pieces and take on this year’s theme.
