A Pack of Five – film by John Parr at Wrexham Library

With our world ablaze by war, a convincing and persuasive message from the WWI battlefield advocates the need for peace. John Parr’s short moving film A Pack of Five, inspired by the true life story of Hedd Wyn, features soldiers taking a moment’s rest from the horrors of battle, sharing a smoke and memories of home. John Parr, a Grammy nominated artist has written, directed and composed the music for the film. John is widely known, having worked on 15 Hollywood films and achieved the highest musical success with two No.1 hits, one of which was the notable St Elmo’s fire.

It also features contributions from winning bards, Alan Llwyd and Ceri Wyn Jones, the Treorchy Male Voice Choir and the Harry Secombe Youth Musical Theatre Company. This short and poignant film will be screened at Wrexham Library on Tuesday, 5 August at 6pm.
