The Tizard Centre are supporting a screening of the critically acclaimed feature documentary ‘Mission to Lars’ as part of their seminar series, on\u00a0Wednesday 24th September at 5.30pm at the Gulbenkian Theatre, University of Kent. The film follows two siblings as they attempt to fulfil their brother Tom’s dream of meeting rock God Lars Ulrich, of Metallica. Tom has Fragile X Syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism. The road trip that ensues is full of challenges and inspiration. The event is being hosted as part of Fragile X awareness day 2014 and will include a short introduction to Fragile X prior to the film.<\/p>\n
There is no charge for this but all donations to the Fragile X Society will be most welcome.<\/p>\n
