Paul Watson Screening: Rain In My Heart
Wednesday 6th December
The Herbert, 5pm

Free event, no need to book

In his most powerful film to date Paul Watson tackles the subject of alcoholism. Under the care of the Dickens Ward of North Kent’s Medway Hospital, four alcoholics are fighting for their lives. As Watson follows their struggles over the course of a year in and out of hospital, a gripping portrait emerges of the epidemic that is weighing down the NHS and UK society. Their stories are both shocking and utterly typical of the many thousands of alcoholics battling an
illness, which Watson says we have for too long ignored.

Rain in My Heart will be screened at The Herbert from 5pm on Wednesday 6th December. This film is not suitable for children.
