Beverley Film Society presents The President's Cake
Lamia, a young girl from Iraq's Mesopotamian Marshes, is chosen to bake a cake celebrating Saddam Hussein's birthday, which she must do or face the consequences. A moving portrait of love, friendship and the resilience of a people caught between authoritarian rule and injudicious US imperialism.
