Adapted from a novella by Stephen King, this enduring prison drama charts the unlikely friendship between two inmates, played by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Initially modest at release, it became a word-of-mouth phenomenon and is now regarded as one of the most beloved films in modern cinema history.
 

‘A stirring, deeply satisfying drama about hope, friendship and redemption.’
— Peter Travers –
 Rolling Stone

The screening will be followed by an interactive discussion about the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption in conversation with Alice Matthews (ABC Radio Canberra) and Rhiân Williams (guest host, ABC Radio Canberra Book Club)
