2nd Week - Thursday 11th 2 & 6pm, Friday 12th at 6pm, Saturday 13th at 6pm, Sunday 14th at 3.45pm
This
is the kind of story that is rarely told about a character who
society usually writes off, judges as a statistic, or simply ignores.
Directed by Lee Daniels, PRECIOUS is set in Harlem and tells the
story of an overweight, illiterate teen who, pregnant with her second
child, is invited to enrol in an alternative school in the hope that
her life can lead in a new direction. "An emotional powerhouse, a
triumph of bruising humour and bracing hope that deserves its place
among the year's best films." -Rolling Stone

convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own

into a full-blown literary and movie phenomenon." -The Guardian.
