This special double bill brings together two inspiring films exploring resilience, friendship and life with Parkinson’s.

The World’s Toughest Drive follows former Army colonel Guy Deacon CBE on an extraordinary solo journey across 25 countries from the UK to South Africa. Armed with determination, 3,650 pills and a VW van, his remarkable adventure is a powerful testament to courage and refusing to let Parkinson’s define him.

Kinetics, adapted from Sue Wylie’s acclaimed stage play and inspired by her own experience of early-onset Parkinson’s, tells the moving story of Rose and Lukas, whose unlikely friendship transforms both their lives. Honest, funny and deeply affecting, it celebrates the strength found in human connection.

All proceeds from this evening will support Dorchester Arts’ Parkinson’s Dance classes in Dorchester and Sherborne.
