Organised by community interest company/post-16 education provider boomsatsuma and Weston-super-Mare Museum, with loot from the Heritage Lottery Fund, this new feature-length documentary’s purpose is to highlight the history of the Bournville Estate and its residents, from the origins of the estate in 1927 to the present day. And who better to do that than young people aged 11-19 who live on and around the estate? A blend of historical research and oral history of senior residents builds up a picture of how it has changed over time.

Tickets for the screening are free and can be reserved by calling boomsatsuma on 01179 428429 and stating your name, the number of tickets you require and your contact details. You can also email [email protected] with this information. As an added incentive, the first 100 people to reserve tickets will receive complimentary ice cream.
