Top fundraising screening of iconic movies for new anti-racist movement 
MARC WADSWORTH invites readers to join the newly formed Liberation Movement to mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of its predecessor, the Anti-Racist Alliance

TWO iconic films are being shown at a famed east London arthouse cinema tomorrow afternoon marking the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Anti-Racist Alliance (ARA).

The Hackney council-owned Rio will be screening The Protector, made for ITV by radical Black Jewish film-maker Orson Nava and the award-winning Wonderful World ARA cinema advertisement by acclaimed movie director Zak Ove.

Margaret Busby, the former chair of the Booker Prize judges, will be doing a Q&A with the film-makers.
