Win cinema tickets to inventive true crime story My Old School

We’re giving away in-season double passes to My Old School, an inventive doco that combines memories, animation, and the talents of Alan Cumming to tell a wild true story.

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed and winners have been contacted.

Here’s the official synopsis: In 1993, 16-year-old Brandon Lee enrolled at Bearsden Academy, a secondary school in a well-to-do suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. What followed over the next two years would become the stuff of legends.

Brandon had been privately tutored in Canada while he accompanied his mother, an opera diva, on tour before her tragic death. The preternaturally bright student surprised teachers by blazing toward his goal of entering medical school, displaying a wealth of knowledge beyond his years.

Brandon found friends despite his initial awkwardness. He took bullied students under his wing, introduced classmates to seminal retro bands, and even starred in the school’s production of South Pacific. But then his unbelievable secret was revealed.

We’re giving away in-season double passes to My Old School, in cinemas 19 January (see here for locations). Check out the trailer below and find out how you could win yourself some tickets.
