Movie Night at Cadence Thursday 2nd October 8pm Cadence is delighted to host, the exclusive UK showing of Rising from Ashes along with the unique opportunity of a Q&A session with producer Greg Kwedar. This is a free event, but we will be asking for donations towards Rising from Ashes Foundation, the foundation behind this amazing film. Come along and listen to the most inspiring cycling story you will ever hear, and do a little bit to support cycling in a country that has been through an experience that few of us can relate to. Rising from Ashes is a feature length documentary about two worlds colliding when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda, Africa to help a group of struggling genocide survivors pursue their dream of a national team. As they set out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past. Following the movie there will be a Q&A session with Producer Greg Kwedar A remarkable documentary. Rising from Ashes is not just about a cycling team; its a testament to what happens when human beings care for one another. Director T.C. Johnstone puts six years of work on this film to good use. The work has as little fat as his stars, yet his footage is rich, and his story is layered. Johnstone has confidence in all elements of filmmaking—images, interviews, narration (by actor and co-producer Forest Whitaker, used sparingly), sound, and a fantastic soundtrack—and uses each to vivid and captivating effect. Uplifting...moving. Narrated in unobtrusive fashion by Forest Whitaker and featuring a jaunty Afropop sound - track, the film is crisp and economical, with the filmmaker carefully avoiding extraneous melodramatics. They are, after all, hardly necessary in a tale that already contains such inherently powerful drama. To book your space go to cadenceperformance/event/movie-night-rising-from-ashes/
