******************************

▲ UPSTAIRS - Documentary films from 7pm including:-

Rosita
(60min. Dirs. Barbara Attie / Janet Goldwater)
Documentary by award-winning filmmakers Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater, traces a young girl's journey from innocent victim to unwitting victor. When a nine-year-old Nicaraguan girl becomes pregnant as a result of a rape, her parents — illiterate campesinos working in Costa Rica — seek a legal "therapeutic" abortion to save their only child's life. Their quest pits them against the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the medical establishment, and the Catholic Church. When their story gains international media attention the repercussions ripple across Latin America and Europe.

▼ DOWNSTAIRS – All night

Guest DJ (Sub Commandante) Max Reinhardt
Part of the inspiration for Movimientos was the popularisation of Latin American political activism and music in the UK during the 80s and 90s. Several clubs existed as a representation of this movement, including Club Sandino and the Mambo Inn both emphasizing the potency and diversity of Latin music. At the heart of these clubs nights was DJ Max Reinhardt who has gone on to push quality music with inspirational musical sessions like The Shrine and Radio Gagarin, and has been a supporter of Movimientos from the start.
