City Lights presents Gurinder Chadha’s Bend It Like Beckham + pre-recorded introduction by actress Pooja Shah.

Bend It Like Beckham is a timeless coming-of-age comedy about following your dreams, defying stereotypes and rebelling against your parents, that kicked off the careers of Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley.

Jess Bhamra, a British Indian teen, has one dream: to be a professional footballer. But her strict, traditional parents are pushing her towards a life of study and marriage. When she meets Jules, the two form a powerful bond over their shared love of the game. As Jess steps into a new world of possibilities, she must find a way to honor both her heritage and her passion.

Contains racist and homophobic attitudes and language.

Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for young people aged 12-18. Please note that children under 12 will not be permitted.
