TWO local filmmakers are launching their new human rights documentary at the Phoenix Theatre in Ross on Friday night (April 12).

Friends Joe Griffiths and Jamie Hay, from Ross, will premiere their new documentary Vegas2 Venice in a red carpet fashion.

The pair who embarked on a 3,000 mile adventure across Europe last summer set about discovering what difference HIV treatment is making to people's lives – and came back with an amazing story and documentary.

Jamie said: "The documentary is quirky and the evening itself is going to be an eye opener. We want to raise funds and awareness for local charity, Hope Support Services and Arms Around the Child, and so thought we could do this by organising a fun but affordable event."

All the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the two charities. To book tickets go to vegas2venice.co.uk.
