Welcome to the Ajax Film Circuit! Join us for our screening of The Old Oak at the St. Francis Centre for Community, Arts and Culture.

The Old Oak, the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in Northern England, has become a gathering space for a community that has fallen on hard times. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the floundering village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudice develops. But the formation of an unexpected friendship opens up new possibilities for the divided village.  The Old Oak is a deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and the difficulty of finding hope. Concessions and cash bar available.
