Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power? 📻 We are also delighted to partner with local radio station Sheffield Live! On this screening - who recently hosted two ‘Live from Sheffield’ productions of Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman.

💛 We’re thrilled to announce that our next Sheffield year-round screening will bring Heaven 17: The Last Temptation to @showroom_cinema on Monday 28 September (20:30 BST)! Celebrating its world premiere at Sheffield DocFest 2026, this amazing film follows Steel City synth legends @heaven17official as they hit the road for what might be their final tour, facing up to age, loyalty and unfinished business with the past. 🎟️ Don’t miss this exclusive screening - grab tickets from the link in our bio! 👉 As the band approaches its 50th anniversary, the shows still deliver, but the crowds are thinning and the years are catching up. Across four gigs, we meet the devoted fans who have stuck around and witness a group reckoning with what comes next. But this is a band built on a split. Martyn Ware was famously kicked out of The Human League just before they became global stars, and he and former bandmate Phil Oakey haven’t spoken in three decades. Now, Martyn decides to reach out. Part tour film, part reconciliation story, the film captures a band at a crossroads, asking whether old wounds can heal and whether this is really the end.
