The third event in the series of the Unite against Hate monthly film screenings will look at disability hate crime.
Michael is a twenty-four-year-old who has cerebral palsy and long-term resident of the Carrigmore Home for the Disabled. His life is transformed when the maverick Rory O’Shea (an outstanding early performance from James McAvoy) moves in.
On meeting Michael, Rory decides that they must change their lives and so concocts a plan to beat the system. Rory’s dynamic and rebellious nature soon sparks a flame in Michael, introducing him to a whole new world outside of Carrigmore.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by William Crawley from BBC Northern Ireland.
