Sunday 6th November, 4.00-6.00pm. Finn’s Place, 167 Ledard Rd, Glasgow G42 9QU

Finn's Place is delighted to invite you to a licensed community showing of "Coco", the 2017 Disney film, which explores the exciting traditions of the Día de Muertos (the Mexican Day of the Dead) and the power of memories.

We hope this event brings members of our community together to sing songs (encouraged but not mandatory!), eat popcorn, and share stories of their own ancestors and those who have died. These topics aren't always the easiest to discuss, but we hope that a little bit of Disney magic can help inspire us all to be brave and start the conversation.

We also think that it's important for people of all ages to have the chance to talk about those who have died and hope that this can be a gentle way to approach the subject with the whole family, especially children and young people.

This event will follow on from the craft session hosted by Battlefield Community Project. It's sure to be a Sunday afternoon that everyone can enjoy, so if you are anywhere near the Southside of Glasgow please do come along - we'd love to meet you!
