"BREATHE is an inspirational and highly emotional celebration of bravery and human possibility, a love story about living every breath as though it’s your last. Adventurous and charismatic, Robin Cavendish (Andrew Garfield) has his whole life ahead of him when he is paralysed by polio whilst in Africa in 1958. Contrary to all advice, Robin’s wife Diana (Claire Foy) brings him home from hospital where her devotion and witty determination transcends his disability. Together they refuse to be imprisoned by his suffering; dazzling others with their humour, courage and lust for life. Against the odds, Robin’s illness gave him new purpose - fighting tirelessly for the rights of disabled people - and his pioneering work had a huge impact on mobility and access for the disabled.”
This is a private screening, open to all Rotarians, their families and friends. Why not bring a party?
Refreshments (drinks and snacks) available - donations
Through PolioPlus, Rotary has contributed to the near eradication of polio worldwide - but we are not quite there yet. This event, one week before World Polio Day on 26 October, will raise money to help in the final push.
