The NSW Reconciliation Council will host a special screening of Samson and Delilah and a question and answer session as part of the NSW Reconciliation Conference program in Sydney. Writer and director Warwick Thornton will be joined by producer Kath Shelper at the end of the film to take questions from the audience. This free event will be held at Dendy Cinema, Circular Quay on the evening of Saturday November 14, 2009.
