SUMMARY:Mother Tongue\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by things that are very tasty\, Bhagya and Carl are travelling to the motherland of Sri Lanka to visit forest gardens\, coconut mills\, rice paddies\, and Aachi’s house. We will also eat: leaning into the warm embrace of our home cuisine and learning some aunties’ secrets along the way. \nIn Sri Lanka they say “never arrive with your arms hanging\,” an ode to the importance of reciprocity. So we will share what we find: not just a story but food to be proud of\, produced with love for people and in concert with the island’s rich biodiversity. \nŌPCo Media Syndicate’s campaign closes 30 November.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy
DESCRIPTION:This is the last film for 2023 and Chris Graves has chosen TOMMY. \nDirector Ken Russell’s (THE DEVILS\, THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM) epic rock opera TOMMY – based on The Who’s 1969 rock opera album Tommy! \nHappy Hour drinks from 7pm.\nScreening 8:15pm.\n111 mins | Rated R16 | Classic \nDirected by Ken Russell | Starring Tina Turner\, Ann – Margret\, Oliver Reed\, Roger Daltrey\, Robert Powell\, Elton John\, Jack Nicholson\nThis classic rock opera is brought energetically to life by an outstanding cast including many stars of the rock music industry. Told through the remarkable music of The Who\, this is the story of Tommy\, who\, when just a boy of six\, witnessed the murder of his father by his mother (Ann-Margret) and her lover (Oliver Reed). They command him\, “You didn’t hear it\, you didn’t see it\, and you won’t say anything to anyone…” As a result\, the traumatized boy retreats into the shadows of his mind and becomes deaf\, dumb\, and blind. Growing into manhood\, Tommy (Roger Daltrey) is subjected to several bizarre cure attempts by The Acid Queen (Tina Turner)\, the Preacher (Eric Clapton)\, and the Specialist (Jack Nicholson). In spite of his handicap\, Tommy defeats the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) and becomes the champ\, attaining a devoted following. When he is finally cured\, he is hailed by his fans as a “Messiah.”
