In association with the Wolverhampton LGBT Alliance and the University of Wolverhampton, the Light House will be hosting a special Black History Month screening of the acclaimed film, Moonlight.

Winner of Golden Globes and Oscars ‘Best Picture’, Moonlight tells the personal history of a young black man as he struggles to find his place in the world while growing up in a rough Miami neighbourhood and coming to terms with his sexuality.

The screening will be preceded by a forty-five minute discussion organised by the University of Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton LGBT Alliance. This will include talks on the unique challenges facing Black LGBT people, the contribution made by prominent Black LGBT people throughout history, and how the Oscars reformed itself in response to the 2016 “Oscars So White” protests.
