The Rescuers, UK Premiere
Date: 17 November 2011
18:30, The Tricycle Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Road, London NW6 7JR
PG Member, Roopesh Parekh would like to extend a special invitation to the UK Jewish Film Festival London Premiere of The Rescuers. Tickets can be purchased at £10.50 with all proceeds going to The Jewish Film Festival.
THE RESCUERS, the latest film from Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Michael King, uncovers the largely unknown stories of 13 heroic and courageous diplomats who, at tremendous personal cost, saved tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. The film follows Stephanie Nyombayire, a young Rwandan anti-genocide activist who lost 100 members of her family in the Rwandan Genocide of the 1990s, and Sir Martin Gilbert, the renowned 20th century and Holocaust historian, as they travel across 15 countries and three continents interviewing survivors and descendants of the diplomats. Nyombayire and Gilbert explore and contemplate the past in a quest, in part, to understand what should be done to stop the ongoing genocide in Darfur and elsewhere.
Fascinating. Emotional. Pace Hopping. Heightens the modern relevance for young viewers."

When hard-working TV producer Becky Fuller stumbles into a job at "Daybreak," she decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy. Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts -- let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck, a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett begins to unravel -- and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself. (Synopsis from Official Website - http://www.morningglorymovie.com).
