[New post] MANDELA THEME FOR AMNESTY ELY THIS OCTOBER

Ely City Amnesty Group is screening Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom on Saturday 1 October at the Lecture Theatre, the Old Palace, Ely. The film stars Idris Elba and Naomie Harris, and chronicles Nelson Mandela’s life journey from his childhood in a rural village through years of imprisonment until he became the first democratically elected president of South Africa.

Doors open for the film at 6:30pm for 7.00pm. Tickets are £6.00 each and can be bought from Burrows Bookshop, 9 High Street Passage, Ely, or from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/370948.
