City Screen Picture House York Presents

MUGABE AND THE WHITE AFRICAN: If good men do nothing, evil will prevail.

Event with Archbishop of York and filmmakers: Sunday 18 April, 5.00pm

Cert: 12A

York’s City Screen Picturehouse is to host the Archbishop of York and filmmakers Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson for a discussion alongside a special showing of the film Mugabe and the White African, on Sunday 18 April at 5pm.

Booking line: 0871 704 2054.

The award-winning documentary portrays the decline of Zimbabwe into a frightening, racist and violent society, barely able to feed its citizens, through the eyes of Mike Campbell, a Zimbabwean farmer who challenges President Robert Mugabe in the international courts.

Dave Taylor, Marketing Manager of City Screen, said, “We’re greatly honoured to welcome The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Dr. John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, to watch the documentary which shows the brutality of President Mugabe’s regime and yet offers great hope through the strength of the human spirit.”

Directors Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson are delighted that their film, Mugabe and the White African, will be screened in York. Lucy Bailey said, “Our film is about the extraordinary courage and faith it takes to face up to a dictator. The Archbishop has been a prominent opponent of Mugabe’s regime; we know the screening will be an important event in raising issues of human rights, rule of law and democracy for all in Zimbabwe.”
