Monday 11th January 2016 7.30pm
Hatton Film Club, showing Lad: A Yorkshire Story
It tells the story of a teenager called Tom Proctor who comes to terms with his father’s death through the kindness and quiet mentoring he gets from a national park ranger. The latter, whose fictional name is Al Thorpe, was inspired by a real-life ranger, the late Al Boughen, who played a similar role in Hartley’s life, when the film-maker was a teenager in Austwick, that lovely village below Ingleborough and the Norber Erratics.
If it sounds a bit twee, bear in mind that our hero gets community service at one stage for stealing a tractor and spraying manure all over the local bank.
Great scenery.
