Film Club "ALLELUJAH", 7:15 for 7:30pm
Fri, 29 Sep 2023 19:30
29th September - ALLELUJAH
ALLELUJAH is a warm and deeply moving story about old age. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital's most distinguished nurse.
What could go wrong? ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.
Doors 19.15, Start 19.30. £5 for refreshments and raffle.
