Special Fundraising Screening
A touching and unforgettable story that is a heartfelt guide to truly embracing every second of life we are given, screening at Chichester Cinema to raise funds for the Coppafeel! Charity.
With a party in a Cornish cathedral featuring Dawn French (dressed as a vicar), Fearne Cotton, a cardboard coffin and hundreds of friends, Kris Hallenga’s 'FUN-eral' (living funeral) is the opening of a documentary that tells the story of one of Britain’s most famous and vivacious cancer campaigner. Diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer at 23, Kris makes a radical decision about what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Together with her twin sister, Maren, they start the Coppafeel! charity, harnessing the power of her own experience to show millions of young people how to check for signs of cancer. In 2013, Kris made a film about her life for the BBC and over the decade that followed, she continued to invite the cameras back in.
