About the event
Bend It Like Beckham, a 2002 sports comedy-drama, follows Jesminder Bhamra and Jules Paxton as they pursue professional football careers against their parents' wishes, earning strong reviews and lasting cultural impact.
A comedy about bending the rules to reach your goal, Bend It Like Beckham explores the world of women's football, from kick-abouts in the park to freekicks in the Final. Set in Hounslow, West London and Hamburg, the film follows two 18 year olds with their hearts set on a future in professional soccer. Heart-stopping talent doesn't seem to be enough when your parents want you to hang up your football boots, find a nice boyfriend and learn to cook the perfect chapatti.
The film is FREE for young people under 18 wearing LOCAL football kit! (Children must be accompanied by a paying adult)
This is a disability-relaxed screening and all are welcome. This means we dim the lights…
