Burma Boy
Screening followed by Directors Q&A

Join us for a screening of the award winning documentary Burma Boy (2011) which tells the story of the 100,000 African soldiers who fought in Burma during the Second World War.
It is a story of survival and courage, and the power of human solidarity, transcending race, culture and religion of this forgotten group within ‘The Forgotten Army’ itself.
