Loving (12A) | Thursday 12 October | 7 pm
Loving celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Loving takes an understated approach to telling a painful – and still relevant – real-life tale, with sensitive performances breathing additional life into a superlative historical drama.

I Am Not Your Negro (12) | Wednesday 19 October | 7pm
Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and with unprecedented access to James Baldwin’s original work. A radical narration about race in America that tracks the lives and assassinations of Baldwin’s friends, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. Introduction talk from Priscilla Igwe, Director of The New Black Film Collective, London.

A United Kingdom (PG) | Wednesday 25 October | 7:30pm
In 1947, Seretse Khama, the King of Botswana, met Ruth Williams, a London of ce worker. Their proposed marriage was challenged not only by their families but by the British and South African governments. South Africa threatened the British: either thwart the couple or be denied access to South African uranium and gold and face the risk of South Africa invading Botswana. We have a guest speaker from PRENO (Portsmouth Race Equality Network Organisation).
