‘Peace and Understanding’ is dedicated to films broadly based on two themes. The first directly relates to you- the people of Slough and the different sub-communities that constitute Slough. The second looks at conflict and how people deal with it. Viewers will be given an insight into the development of Slough’s Caribbean community, an understanding of the sacrifice of South Asian soldiers in the Second World War and treated to more exotic shorts from as far away as Libya. Not to be missed!

Entry £2.00

Edi is a touching and highly involving portrait of marginal characters who manage to confront their misery and–at least, briefly–somehow triumph over it. The film tells a story of two scrap pickers - Edi and his friend Jureczek. Edi is falsely accused by some local thugs of seducing their sister, and made to take care of her little baby.
