Virtual Screening of Foster Boy followed by Q&A with Producer Peter Samuelson (1970)
7:00pm
We are very privileged that our member and film producer Peter Samuelson is arranging a special screening of his award-winning film Foster Boy. Exploring corruption in the US foster system, the film follows the pursuit of justice for a young man, imprisoned after years in for-profit foster care.
After reading English at Emma, Peter was production manager on films such as The Return of the Pink Panther. He then emigrated to Los Angeles and produced Revenge of the Nerds, Tom & Viv, Wilde, Arlington Road and 20 other films. Peter is also a philanthropist and amongst his charities he co-founded First Star www.firststaruk.org, to improve the public health, safety, and family life of America’s abused and neglected children. From this developed First Star Academies, which provide four-year high school programmes for foster youth on university campuses in the US, and which are now expanding into the UK.
A unique link to view the film online will be provided. Viewing is from 7pm to 9pm, followed by a discussion from 9pm to 10pm.
To join us for this special event please complete the booking form and we will send over the details.
