Violet Pictures film club invite you to watch this warm-hearted 2019 Indie drama. Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a restless 22-year-old with Down’s syndrome, is frustrated by the slow pace of life at the nursing home in which he resides. Itching for some excitement, he dreams of becoming a pro wrestler, obsessively re-watching a worn-out VHS tape of his favourite Lycra-clad hero, The Salt Water Redneck. Hatching a plan to meet his idol, Zak makes a break from his geriatric prison, with his worried carer Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, struggling fisherman Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) is on a mission of his own – to escape the clutches of a pair of angry crabbers after unwisely messing with their traps. As fate brings these two accidental fugitives together, so begins the start of an epic journey, and profound friendship, that will change both of their lives forever.
There will be a Facebook live Q&A on the Creative Folkestone Quarterhouse page with Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Gabriella Apicella and director Jane Gull. The Q&A will start at 9pm so we recommend you should start watching the film at 7pm
