Wed 21 November 20:30, Cornerhouse. 70 Oxford Street, Manchester. Box Office: 0161 200 1500.
Join Sarah Gavron (Director), Faye Ward (Producer) and Tannishtha Chatterjee (lead actress) for a discussion after the screening of their film BRICK LANE (15). Based on Monica Ali’s acclaimed novel, Gavron’s feature début focuses on one year in Nazneen’s life. Having arrived in London at 17 from Bangladesh for an arranged marriage, she’s endured years of coldness (both real and metaphorical), with an older, bombastic husband and raised two daughters. Nazneen still misses home and her sister, but she keeps her head down. Then in 2001, her life is upended once again when she begins to experience independence – and passionate-love with Karim, a handsome young man.
