FREE African Cinema Children's Special Sat 21st July

Do you want to keep your children in touch with their African roots? Perhaps you just want to introduce your kids to new cultures. Or maybe you're a grown up who remembers Saturday mornings at the cinema as a child and wants to recreate those special times.

If so .... come along next Saturday to the African Caribbean Centre in Glasgow's Merchant City and enjoy our Saturday morning cinema, courtesy of Africa in Motion.

Here's whats on ..
