I’m writing on behalf of the Power to the People group to invite you to a screening of ‘United We Will Swim ….. Again’ on Wednesday (9 November) at 6.30 in North Edinburgh Arts (writes Lynn McCabe).
The film tells the story of the long struggle by the Govanhill community of Glasgow to stop the closure of their local swimming pool. The pool was saved after local people occupied the building for 6 months. It eventually re-opened and is now a thriving community facility.
The film is an inspirational story which provides a bit of hope and encouragement in terms of what can be achieved when people come together with a common purpose. A member of the campaign will attend the screening and will take part in a Question & Answer.
The café in North Edinburgh Arts will be open from 6.15 to give people time to have a cup of tea and blether before the film starts. Transport is available for people who need it. The minibus will be leaving Royston/Wardieburn Community Centre at 6.15 and will pick people up at a number of stops along the route.. Please let me know asap if either you or someone you know requires transport.
I have included a link to an article about the film which premiered at Edinburgh International Film Festival last year.
