Synopsis
The cause of many an 80’s child’s nightmares, Watership Down is the animated adaptation of Richard Adams’ novel following a group of rabbits who must find a new home after their warren is demolished by humans. Not for the faint-hearted, Watership Down is a dark and sometimes violent tale of the dark side of nature.
Cinema Book Club selects the best (and worst!) screen adaptations to watch and discuss in our unique book-to-screen club. Each month we'll pick a different book and film for discussion. Read the book, then join us for the film and a discussion afterwards in the bar. No need to join, just show up on the night and join in.
Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t read the book!
