A MAN'S STORY Preview plus Q&A with Ozwald Boateng at Hackney Picturehouse
A MAN'S STORY
Exclusive preview plus Q&A with Ozwald Boateng, director Varon Bonicos, Diane Abbott and David Lammy
Thursday 8 March, 6.30
Following the preview, Ozwald Boateng will be joined by Diane Abbott MP and David Lammy MP to discuss this new film on his life and career. This promises to be a lively and informative conversation between two of Britain’s most prominent MPs and an inspirational example of a modern, multicultural success story.
A MAN'S STORY profiles Ozwald Boateng, one of Britain’s most successful and influential fashion designers of the past two decades. Directed by Varon Bonicos and spanning a 12-year period, the film weaves together his rocket-like trajectory through the fashion world with an intimate portrait of a family man struggling to balance life and work.
Boateng is charismatic, glamorous, hard-working and very humanly flawed; his personal and professional triumphs and setbacks are the fascinating heart of this insightful documentary set against a backdrop of models, movie stars and fabulous locations.
