Film Screening – The First Grader
The Nerve Centre, Derry
8th December 5pm
Children in Crossfire is delighted to be hosting a screening of The First Grader as part of this year's Human Rights Festival.
The First Grader follows the story of Kimani Murage, an 84-year old man from Kenya, and his journey to receiving education. Following the announcement in 2003 from the Kenyan government for free education for all, this film explores Kimani's struggles and triumphs as he decides to enrol himself into the school system.
Through exploring this heartfelt and uplifting story, The First Grader highlights the importance of the Right to Education for all, and the resistance which many face when trying to practice this right for themselves.
Whoopi Goldberg says "A great film! Run, do not walk to see this!", which we hope you will all do on the 8th December.
