BOOK NOW - LIMITED 'FREE' TICKETS AVAILABLE!

In celebration of Race Equality Week Hammersmith & Fulham Council & H&F Unison has joined up with Kush Films to present a special FREE online screening of the rarely seen Black British comedy-clash classic BLACK JOY.

Date: Friday 5th February

Time: 6:30pm - 8:15pm

Black Joy is a British culture-clash comedy with Trevor Thomas starring as a Guyanese youth who is under the delusion that life will be easier for him in London. No sooner does Thomas set foot in England than he gets tangled up in one disaster after another. The catalyst for most of Our Hero's travails is "assimilated" Caribbean Norman Beaton, who plays a streetwise con artist.

The film was adapted from Dark Days and Light Nights, a stage play by Jamal Ali, who also wrote the screenplay.

Cast: Norman Beaton, Floella Benjamin Paul Medford, Oscar James, Dawn Hope & Trevor Thomas.

Director: Anthony Simmons
