FOR THE MANY
Sunday 26th
The festival comes to a close and we're bringing audiences together one last time to watch films, connect, and hit the pub. Join us from home, or at the Hen and Chickens Theatre in Islington as we bring things to a close with For The Many, with heavy doses of solidarity, reflection, and hope.
