About this Event
It's A Wonderful Life
George Bailey dreamed of shaking the dust of Bedford Falls from his heels. He would travel the world, build bridges and cities, and be somebody. But life, with its small-town duties and a thousand quiet kindnesses, had other plans.
Now, on a single snowy Christmas Eve, it has all become too much. Standing on a bridge, he believes he is worth more dead than alive. But a gentle, bumbling angel named Clarence is about to show him the truth. He will grant George’s desperate wish: to see what the world would have been like if he had never been born.
It is a journey into a cold, unrecognisable town, where every life he touched has turned for the worse. It is a revelation that the richest man in town isn’t the one with the most money, but the one with the most friends.
This is more than a Christmas film; it is a soaring, timeless testament to the impact of a single, ordinary life. It reminds us that no one is a failure who has friends.
