Rico Johnson-Sinclair

My most memorable community cinema experience was probably watching Dispossession at Yellow Wednesdays, which used to take place at Impact Hub Birmingham and was run by Paul Stringer.
I just remember feeling galvanised by the film, but also realising I was in a room filled with people that felt the same way. That was a special feeling.
