YULI

Y9 classes studying Spanish at Kingsway Park High School visited ‘HOME Cinema’ in Manchester as part of the VIVA festival. It was the VIVA festivals 25^th birthday of celebrating Hispanic culture across the world. While there was a wide range of films that had been considered good to watch, the students decided on watching ‘Yuli’; a true story of the famous Cuban ballerina, Carlos Acosta. It was a fantastic film showing Yuli’s difficult path to fame and his emotional relationship with his father.  It was a great opportunity for the students at Kingsway Park to get a deeper insight into Cuban history and culture to support them with their GCSE studies. The students are already asking about the next Spanish film trip!
