In celebration of the 2026 Black History Month and its theme "Honouring Our Communities" we are screening the acclaimed film Cotton Queen.

"In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa finds herself torn between tradition and change. When a businessman arrives with genetically modified cotton and a marriage proposal, she becomes the centre of a struggle for her village’s future. As her grandmother, Al-Sit, clings to old hierarchies, Nafisa begins to awaken to her own power. 'Cotton Queen' is a tender and politically charged coming-of-age tale about women’s resilience, self-determination, and the fight to shape their destiny."
