A special screening of James Erskine's acclaimed documentary about doomed Italian cycling star Marco Pantani, with an intro and Q&A by Matt Rendell, on whose book the film is based.

After winning the 1998 Tour de France cycle race, Marco Pantani was the biggest name in Italian sport, a national icon, loved by all sections of society. But within six years, he was dead. 'Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist' tells the story of a great champion and his rapid demise, asking whether such an eccentric loner ever stood a chance in the face of the malign forces within professional cycling and Italian society.

We are delighted to have ITV Tour de France commentator and author Matt Rendell joining us to introduce the screening. The film is based on Matt's book, The Death of Marco Pantani and Matt is known - of course - as one of the best-placed and most insightful observers of professional cycling of the last 30 years. There will be also a chance to ask Matt questions after the screening.

The Sherborne is lovely Art Deco cinema 10 minutes' walk from Gloucester station, BUT there are only 100 seats available, so do please book early to avoid disappointment!
