Join us for this very special screening of the award-winning documentary A Life In Tandem at Bristol Grammar School - the very place Luke Grenfell-Shaw's Bristol2Beijing expedition began!

After the screening you'll have the chance to put protagonist and producer (and OB!), Luke Grenfell-Shaw, and director, Mike Rumsey, on the spot with a Q&A session.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

About the film

A Life In Tandem tells the extraordinary true story of Luke, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer aged 24. Given months to live, he sets off on a 20,000 mile cycle from Bristol to Beijing - on a tandem. Over 800 people join him, as Luke experiences extraordinary highs and devastating lows on this unique journey, and discovers friendship and inspiration in the most unlikely of places.

By turns tear-jerking and side-splitting, experience this uplifting, poignant and deeply human story. Watch the trailer below.
