Poetic Unity Presents: Brother + poetry and talk

Poetic Unity presents a special screening of Brother in line with Mental Health Awareness week. This film highlights many themes such as masculinity, identity, mental health, race and family. After the film Poetic Unity will host a discussion and live poetry performances. Propelled by the pulsing beats of Toronto's early hip hop scene, BROTHER is the story of Francis and Michael, sons of Caribbean immigrants maturing into young men. Exploring themes of masculinity, identity and family, a mystery unfolds during the sweltering summer of 1991, and escalating tensions set off a series of events that change the course of the brothers' lives forever. BROTHER crafts a timely story about the profound bond between siblings, the resilience of a community and the irrepressible power of music. Poetic Unity is a Brixton based charity that provides support and services for children and young people aged 10-30 years old across the UK. Our vision is to help young people find their voice, feel valued in society and to empower them to reach their highest potential. We use poetry as a tool to support young people's mental health, education, personal development, physical health, and community cohesion. Founded in 2015, we deliver hundreds of programmes and events every year for the community with 1,421 services provided to 40,000+ young people to date. www.PoeticUnity.org.uk This event is in partnership with Dark Matter.
