Free Film Screening! Le Havre (12A Cert)
This film has a fairy tale quality but is a comedy with a serious theme. A young African stowaway is befriended by an ageing bohemian who now has a shoeshine stand in Le Havre port. The boy is protected from the authorities by defiant locals.
This is a great opportunity in helping children and families get the most out of the Summer Reading Challenge and working as part of a team.
