BISCUIT FILM AT THE BEECHES
A controversial film about people who become chronically addicted to biscuits is to be shown at The Beeches Cineplex. The screening will form part of a nationwide series of events intended to promote Biscuit Awareness Week.
The message of the hard-hitting film, entitled Bite the Biscuit, is that no-one is safe from the perils of addiction. The one-hour documentary graphically depicts the downward spiral of an addict who loses his job, his home and his family and is finally reduced to prostitution in order to get his daily fix of Hob Nobs.
Rich Tee, director of the Biscuit And Sweet Treat Addicts’ Remedial Diagnosis Service (BASTARDS), said: “This is a brave initiative in the fight against an addiction that many people do not even realise exists.
“With the festive season upon us, a time when people traditionally overindulge, it is even more crucial that we do everything we can to promote awareness of this crippling condition.
“We strongly urge people to go and see this film.”
Biscuit Awareness Week runs from December 3rd to 10th. For more information, log on to www.bastards.org.
