See Movie, Support Greens


Should you be interested in supporting the Green party, we are
showing a movie as a fundraiser for our campaign
Bending a ball like
Beckham - see below).

"Bend It Like Beckham" is
a fantastic new independent film from Gurinder Chadha (director of Bhaji
on the Beach & What's Cooking). Bend It Like Beckham received both the
critic's prize and audience prize at the recent Sydney Film Festival and
is a highlight in the current film festival.
Young women who
love playing soccer encounter serious parental opposition in this
colourful comedy of culture clash by Anglo-Indian director Gurinder
Chadha (Bhaji on the Beach, What's Cooking).
"Football's
uncommon ability to bring a nation together is celebrated in Chadha's
sweet positive youth movie. Jess loves nothing better than kicking a ball
about - unless it's her idol Becks. Unfortunately her family cling to
traditional Asian values, and while they're willing to tolerate her
fanaticism, the very idea of their daughter joining a local girls' team
makes them see red. So when Jess does just that, she has to go to extreme
lengths to keep it secret. It's heartening to find Chadha exercising
feminist, multi-cultural themes organically in what is essentially an
unpretentious mainstream entertainment. Poppy and fun, this game underdog
deserves to get a result." - Tom Charity, Time Out UK
