Seeds of Hope Film Screening
{mimi : ninyi : sisi} - formerly Carpe Diem Events - brings you the film screening of the powerful and inspirational documentary 'Seeds of Hope'.

Prepare to be inspired as black artists ‘word up’ for an evening of spoken word. Their deep verses will tell stories of inequality, prejudice, racism and the many other struggles that come with being an ethnic minority. They will dispel stereotypes and provide raw but crucial details of being Black and British using the captivating aesthetics of word play.
