Dear Members,

Below is an extract from an e-mail received via the BTS website from an organisation called DocHouse, about a film they have produced:

Hello,

I hope you don't mind me contacting you, I work for the non-profit organisation DocHouse and we'd like to invite you to our upcoming screenings of the African documentary Albino United. The film tells the story of a Tanzanian football team made up of albinos, a group of young men with the ambition to prove to the country that they are able to take part in everyday society, and more importantly, play football. The screening is being held at Riverside Studios on October 6th at 7pm, we’d love to see you there and would be very grateful if you could pass on the details to all your members.

Many Thanks,

Charlotte Balnave
