Enjoy a screening of Wondrous Oblivion (2003) directed by Paul Morrison as part of the Guerrilla History Film Forum at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.
Wondrous Oblivion is about an 11-year-old David Wiseman who is passionate about cricket but no good at it. David is thrilled when a Jamaican family moves in next door and builds a cricket net in the back garden.
The Guerrilla History Film Forum examines the struggle for equity and freedom and the forms this has taken globally. One crucial component of this history has been resistance to colonial violence and the legacies of racism. The films in the series engage these histories, make vivid the experiences of colonialism and the complexities of liberation struggle. These films invite a conversation about the present path toward a future of global equality. The series will culminate with a forum for discussion of the movies with both film studies and history scholars and will air on YouTube and the Guerrilla History podcast.
Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts is accessible for all mobility types.
