by Carolann Benham

The Rosemount Factory is set to host a screening of the critically acclaimed 'Hillsborough' documentary.

The event which will be held on Wednesday 8th November and Thursday 9th November at 7pm has been organised by Glenview community centre.

Queens University Professor Phil Scraton who dedicated two decades to researching the Hillsborough disaster will be available on both nights for Q and A.

Professor Scraton was the primary author of the Hillsborough Panel Report and factual consultant to the film.

There will also be a book singing of Professor Scranton's new edition of the book Hillsborough: The Truth.

Dan Gordon's two hour documentary could not be shown in Britain or Ireland while the recent inquests where in session. The film won a BAFTA in 2017 for best factual documentary and uses original footage of the disaster and its aftermath with first hand accounts by the bereaved, survivors and police officers.

Event organiser Sinead Barr said 'The event was organised to increase the profile on The Hub and about providing the community the opportunity to engage in cultural events within the community.'

Tickets for the event are £7 with limited seating and are available at Glenview Community Centre. Contact Sinead on 02871268758 or email [email protected].
