In honour of history week, let’s get historical in the film club!
Hopefully this will take you to the historical section of Netflix, but obviously feel free to look around.
FILM CLUB RULES:
Have a look around Netflix for any films that are about history or historical events in some way. You may nominate one or two titles that you want to watch with the film club.
The nomination deadline is on Thursday at 8pm . We will then put it to the vote.
Vote remains open until Friday 6pm , and then at 8pm we watch whichever film has won.
You will get the option to sign up for the DM live chat while we watch the film, which is highly recommended. A sign-up poll will be posted at the same time as the film poll.
Anyone can join!
Let’s make this one for the DiStory books, pals.
