Hackney Bicycle Film Society Special Show

Premier of Documentary Iquitos

Continuing our remit to promote new talent we have organised a special screening of the new film Iquitos

Documentary 50 minutes

Iquitos is the biggest city of the Peruvian Amazon basin. This urban bubble, surrounded by jungle, grew as a result of the rubber boom at the beginning of the 20th century. The rubber is now gone but the jungle still continues to provide resources. Oil exploration and drilling, mining and logging cause harm to the environment and local communities. Many have migrated from the jungle to urban centres such as Iquitos.
Iquitos can only be reached by boat or aeroplane.

June 21st at 19:30 at the Calthorpe Arms, 252 Gray's Inn Road, WC1X 8JR

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
