Arthur Wharton Documentary Screening



We had a very successful screening of The Arthur Wharton Story Documentary at The Void Film Theatre at Sheffield Hallam University. 

The Film Theatre was packed to capacity as a group of young people presented impromptu poetry performances  inspired by Arthur Wharton's life. 

The screening included a film about FURD's work in schools across South Yorkshire and was attended by the Lord Mayor and footballers Kim Grant and Brendon Batson. 

Along with 10 year old Louis Affen and writer Phil Vasili, Kim Grant was also part of the Q & A discussion afterwards.
