King Richard -Outdoor screening
Based on the true story that will inspire the world, “King Richard” follows the journey of Richard Williams, an undeterred father instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time, who will end up changing the sport of tennis forever.
Driven by a clear vision of their future and using unconventional methods, Richard has a plan that will take Venus and Serena Williams from the streets of Compton to the global stage as legendary icons. The profoundly moving film shows the power of family, perseverance and unwavering belief as a means to achieve the impossible and impact the world.
Join us as we screen this film OUTDOORS in Hillside Gardens. The P13 bus stops nearby.
Bring a pic nic and wrap up warm.
Refreshments also for sale.

★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
“As stirring and heart-warming as you’d like, this is a hugely touching family opus. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it’s straight from the heart and gets you in the gut.”
★★★★ Alex Godfrey, Empire
