There is a plan to make a film of Engels's book on The Condition of the Working Class in 1844 :
Sounds interesting.
Nice one. Hopefully more SPGB branches will get involved in screening films about Marxism in the near future.
We should find out the cost of the film screening.Even the play is a possibility.We should request quotes. i can think of worse ways o spending our money
