Event description
Join the University of Manchester Law School at HOME Manchester on September 18th for a FREE film screening of Brian Banks.
Starring Aldis Hodge, Greg Kinnear and Sherri Shephard, 'Brian Banks' follows the true story of a 17 year old whose life was upended when he was wrongfully convicted of rape.
At the time of his conviction in 2002, Banks (Aldis Hodge) was, by all accounts, a rising football star destined to play in the NFL. Tragically, Banks instead served six years wrongfully incarcerated, and when he was finally released on parole, he was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Years later, with the support of the California Innocence Project, Banks fought to reclaim his life and fulfil his dreams of playing in the NFL.
The UK PREMIERE of Brian Banks ' will be shown at HOME cinema on 18th September, with the screening starting at 4pm. All are welcome to a drinks reception at Innside Manchester following the screening to celebrate the film and the importance of innocence projects worldwide.
