“Mo and Me (and Me)” (Cert PG) Friday 13th November

The Life and Work of Mohamed Amin.(MBE) Dynamic, energetic, brilliant, photojournalist Mo Amin covered it all - from fear and famine to fame and fortune, from war to wildlife wonders. Mo’s remarkable life was cut tragically short in November 1996 when hijackers took over an Ethiopian airliner forcing it to crash land in the Indian Ocean killing 123 passengers and crew. Mo died on his feet as he attempted to negotiate and reason with the terrorists. By any standards, Mo’s life was truly extraordinary; action-packed, full of pain and passion and inseparable from the troubled chronicle of emergent Africa.

"It's almost 13 years to the day that the hi-jacked plane crashed into the Indian Ocean, I think Mo would be quite amused that I am showing the film about him on Friday 13th" said cameraman Robin Kewell who worked with Mohamed Amin for several years. Robin will present the film and give his own personal account of his friendship with this remarkable man and some of the stories from behind the camera.
