SUMMARY:Licoricia of Winchester: an exception who proves the rule?
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable medieval moneylender\, Licoricia of Winchester rose from obscure beginnings to become the personal banker to Henry III and the richest Jewish woman in 13th century England.  Twice married\, twice widowed and the mother of four sons\, she was a self-made woman in a man-made world.  But in an age of political turmoil and rising antisemitism\, she also experienced at first hand mounting anti-Jewish legislation\, local expulsions and violent attacks that culminated in personal tragedy.   Who was this extraordinary woman\, and what lessons might medieval England hold for us today? \nRebecca Abrams is the author of several books on Jewish history\, including The Jewish Journey:  4000 years in 22 objects and Jewish Treasures from Oxford Libraries.  Her most recent publication is Licoricia of Winchester:  Power and Prejudice in Medieval England.  She teaches creative writing at the University of Oxford and is a regular literary critic for the Financial Times. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Escape from Pretoria
DESCRIPTION:Australia\, South Africa\, UK 2020\, 106 mins\, English \nDirector Francis Annan\, featuring Daniel Radcliffe\, Daniel Webber\, Ian Hart \nBased on the real-life prison break of two political captives\, this is a race-against-time thriller set in the tumultuous apartheid days of South Africa in the late 1970s.  Two white South Africans\, Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee\, are arrested for carrying out anti-apartheid missions. Sentenced to twelve years and eight years respectively\, they are transported to Pretoria Prison where Jenkin plans their daring escape.  In the prison they meet veteran ANC activist Denis Goldberg\, who received a life sentence in 1964 alongside Nelson Mandela for previous work against apartheid. He shows them the ropes but discourages them from trying to escape. \n“The film has something pleasingly traditional about it\, with tense nail-biting moments and touches of The Great Escape and Papillon.” (Peter Bradshaw\, The Guardian) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
