Pictureville Cinema to screen episodes of CBBC's “My Life”

The screening, which will be held this Saturday (April 5th), comes from two new episodes of the documentary series My Life, each following Bradford's incredible youth story.

Screening will be followed by a live Q&A session with (local) stars and filmmakers.

The first episode, “Me, My Horse, My Spear” follows two boys from Bradford who are passionate about the traditional Pakistani equestrian sport of nejibaji (also known as tent pegging).

The documentary follows them as they pursue their competitive passions, discovering more about themselves, their cultural heritage, and the power of friendship.

This will be followed by a screening of “The Fastest Boy in the World.” This tells the story of a boy from ADHD, autism and Bradford who dream of becoming a professional drag racer.

His ambition to break the land speed record and prepare for the next race season gains more importance thanks to the presence of his race idol: World Record Holder Baba Myers.

Hosted by actor and CBBC presenter Kia Pegg (“The Dumping Ground”), alongside Bradford's new voices Irene Kaali and Humaira Bham, the spokesman's words, the session is “hoping to provide a unique opportunity to dig deeper into the story behind the film and discover what to do to create a CBC television show.”

Families can enjoy the event at a discount of £3 per ticket.

Tickets can be reserved at the Pictureville website https://www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/cinema.

The National Museum of Science and Media in Bradford first opened in 1983 and uses more than 3 million objects from its national collections to explore the science and culture of image and sound technology and its impact on our lives.

The museum houses the Picture Building, Yorkshire's largest independent cinema. The three screens feature the first IMAX in Europe and the only public Cinerama venue in the world.

The National Museum of Nature and Nature was reopened on January 8, 2025, following a £6 million transformation.
