'What's Eating Coventry?' film screening Register to attend this event here.
The Midlands Chapter of the Landworkers' Alliance and the Coventry Men's Shed group are collaborating with Five Acre Community Farm in Ryton and the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience at Coventry University to show two films in Coventry over the next two months which they wish to use to initiate discussion on pressing local and national food issues.
The second film is called What's Eating Coventry and is produced by Coventry Men’s Shed. The film creatively explores the issue of poverty, social justice and how people are eating in the city of Coventry.
It also steps back and asks bigger questions about “What’s Eating Coventry” where the video makers link the problems in Coventry to issues related to austerity and exploitation. The film explores some of the ways that communities are responding to the issue of hunger and food poverty, offering new insights and hope for the future.

A punchy and thought-provoking piece of dance theatre provides an honest commentary on multicultural Britain.
Following a phenomenal run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe to sold-out audiences, award-winning company Protein brings us Border Tales.
Nominated for the prestigious Carol Tambor Award, this punchy and thought-provoking piece of dance theatre provides an honest commentary on multicultural Britain. With dance, live music and dialogue compiled from the performers’ personal experiences, Border Tales looks at post-Brexit Britain seen through the eyes of its international cast.
“Funny, thought-provoking and consistently entertaining, Border Tales celebrates our differences, acknowledges our sameness and does more to repair the rifts than politics ever could.” The Scotsman

“Ask me, just ask me! Pucho zara pucho! It’s punishment for falling in love!”
Kamala wants her daughter Rani to marry successful but emotionally awkward businessman Raj. Rani bristles at going down the conventional route and arranges a test for Raj. She convinces her cousin Sita to swap places and pretend to be the suitable bride – unaware that Raj has come up with the same scheme with his driver, Nitin!
Actor Nigel Planer (The Young Ones, Filthy Rich and Catflap) brilliantly updates Marivaux’s classic French farce to a modern Asian family in England, employing Bollywood song and dance to delicious effect as class and passion clash when Rani meets Raj.
Tickets: £13 & £15.50 Concessions: £10 - £13.50
Cost: £13
