Film screening: The Super Ladies and Q&A

Tuesday 8th March, 6pm – 7:30pm
The Point – 180 Queen’s Drive, Glasgow, G42 8QD
Register here

Join us at the Point on International Women’s Day for a screening of “The Super Ladies” – a documentary film by Samantha Asumadu. The documentary follows three female rally-drivers, competing to beat their male counterparts in The Pearl of Africa Rally – one of Africa’s toughest motor races. The three women exemplify changing gender dynamics in Africa – and not just on the race course: business women, pop-singers, teachers & mothers, they also have to battle for the respect of their male competitors. Will they win out on race day? It is a daunting challenge – and a race with a dramatic outcome.

This will be followed by a Q&A with Samantha Asumadu about her filmmaking process and the story of how the film came to be made.

This event has been supported by GAMIS.
