** Please note, we have now cancelled this screening. We are sorry for any disappointment caused. **
Julia's Staff Pick this season is emotive, inspirational and hugely entertaining real-life story of Wimbledon greats Venus and Serena Williams!
Don't be put off by the Oscar night bad behaviour of Will Smith, this is a fantastic bio-pic of the charismatic and complex character of Richard Williams - father and coach of the legendary Williams sisters. Driven by a clear vision of their future and using unconventional methods, Richard has a plan that will take Venus and Serena Williams from the streets of Compton, LA to the global stage as legendary icons.
We're also delighted to announce we'll be joined by a local tennis coach from Break Point coaching.
