Disability History Month: Then Barbara Met Alan (2022)

Join us for a film screening of the 2022 BBC drama Then Barbra met Alan.

This film tells the real life story of the founding of the activist group Disabled People's Direct Action Network (DAN). The Guardian gave it 5 stars and wrote "This nimble biopic tells the tale of a comedian and a musician, both with disabilities, who were fed up of being patronised and marginalised. Their protest-packed tale is perfect for our times." There will be popcorn and soft drinks served with the film.

Why Attend?

• Meet other disabled students and build connections.
