About this event

In partnership with London Breeze Film Festival, Soul City Arts and Komola Collective, SCREEN BANGLA presents two films exploring themes of identity, community, resilience and social change, with each screening followed by a post-screening conversation.

Delupi: A gripping political drama set in a flood-ravaged Bangladeshi village. Amid severe river erosion and the upheaval of a national revolution, young activists and traditional folk artists unite to challenge corrupt elders and protect their community, heritage and future. Featuring local faces and raw, authentic performances, the film is a powerful story of rural resilience and defiance.

Testimonials

I haven't rode a bike in 50 years and that was when I was 10 years old. The bikes have changed and they now have gears for both the front and back wheels. I had the front wheels in 1st gear and the back wheels in 2nd gear which made for a better work out for me. Khalam is great, patient and encouraging and I couldn't have done it or enjoyed it without him. I'm looking forward to a larger group next week as even in the heat there was a considerable breeze throughout. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

My placement year with Legacy West Midlands had provided me with a fantastic insight into the inner workings of a community-focused charity which gave me a real appreciation for the complex operational work and the continuous effort that goes on behind the scenes to deliver community heritage initiatives effectively. Working alongside the team gave me hands on experience in supporting daily workflows, communication and organisational tasks which helped develop my workplace skills such as time management and collaboration. Working at Legacy West Midlands in which was a supportive environment helped me build genuine confidence in a professional settings providing me with a strong foundation as I return back to university to complete my final year and will give me a headstart in working after completing my degree.

I joined badminton at the age of 13 with my younger sister at the Lighthouse Youth Centre in Lozells. Before this I had no prior experience to the sport and always felt nervous when stepping onto the court. However, after attending many sessions regularly and punctually, I began to notice improvement within my skill and also confidence.

Legacy WM has helped me shape my skills and knowledge, providing a safe space for me to grow and learn. It's like having a routine that guides me in various tasks, similar to following a structured diet that ensures I stay healthy and efficient. The trips that Legacy WM have provided have been eye opening and very enjoyable.

Your coaches are doing a tremendous job with our children. Not only are you training them to become great badminton players, but you are also teaching them great discipline and behaviour, making them understand the importance of healthy competition as well as developing a strong passion for the game.

Freedom50 charity bike ride in Bangladesh was one the greatest moments of my life, which I will cherish for as long I live.

Nasir, Freedom50 Cyclist
During my time as a community champion I have participated in the Mason mile as well as holiday play schemes. I also had the honour of partaking in the Freedom50 exhibition, which opened my eyes to the true beauty of my culture. It has not only boosted my confidence, but it has also allowed me to feel more connected to the community around me.

Volunteering for Legacy WM has been an incredible experience. The respectful and friendly environment of Legacy WM allows you to flourish in what you do best. Working in marketing has not only made me more confident in my skills but awakened a new passion for it as I can use it to help people and even give back to my community. Legacy WM ensures that I and everyone else like me, are proud of our cultures and continue to be.

Hana , Freedom50 Cyclist
Walks around the park are relaxing. I like taking in nature and experiencing nature, whilst having great conversations with local residents. These walks have improved my life and have enabled me to continue with my passion for movement. I am now walking most mornings as a result of my role as a walk leader for Legacy WM.
