Details

Film: Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?
Venue: Cineworld, Fountain Park
Time: meet at 7:30pm / film starts at 7:50pm

Synopsis (from the Cineworld website):-

If Morgan Spurlock ("Supersize Me") has learned anything from over 30 years of movie-watching, it's that if the world needs saving, it's best done by one lone man willing to face danger head on to take it down, action hero style. So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters have failed to do: find the worlds most wanted man. Why take on such a seemingly impossible mission? Simple - he wants to make the world safe for his soon to be born child. But before he finds Osama bin Laden, he first needs to learn where he came from, what makes him tick, and most importantly, what exactly created bin Laden to begin with. It's not all milk and honey for our host, however. He does run into a few reactionary radicals along the way. A relative of one of the 9/11 hijackers argues that his brother's videotaped confession was part of an elaborate Hollywood F/X job, while a firebrand Imam argues that cruelty is the only way to respond to a violent, hate-filled Western strategy. In Israel, moderates are juxtaposed against a group of Hassidic Jews who literally threaten Spurlock's life, and he does find a few positively pro Al-Qaeda voices on the journey.

I'll wait in the foyer, by the round desk to the left of the entrance, at 7:30pm. We can then buy tickets for the film, starting at 7:50pm, and hopefully sneak in a quick drink and a chat after the film.
