Culture Course Film: Chariots of Fire

3.30pm, at 8 Bassett Crescent East

Join Richard and Margaret at their home to watch the British film “Chariots of Fire”, filmed in 1981.  The film is based on the true story of two British athletes in the 1924 Olympics, Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams.  The two men met whilst studying at Cambridge University, where Abrahams becomes the first person ever to complete the Trinity Great Court Run – running around the college courtyard in the time it takes for the clock to strike twelve.  The film tells the story of Abrahams and Lidell, and how through their running they seek to overcome prejudice and remain true to their own convictions.

This event is free, but space is limited to a total of 12 people – please book a place online via Eventbrite.
