ROSS-on-Wye is due to host the premiere of a human rights documentary.

Vegas 2 Venice will showcase the work of Joe Griffiths, 23, and Jamie Hay, 22, from Ross, who last summer embarked on an epic 3,000 mile journey across Europe to meet people affected by HIV/AIDS.

They hoped to discover the difference HIV treatment is making to people's lives and came back with a story they want to share in a documentary endorsed by the United Nations, Terrence Higgins Trust, and the National AIDS Trust.

Now the Vegas2Venice team aim to raise funds and awareness for Arms Around the Child and local charity Hope Support Services.

Tickets for the VIP Red Carpet Premiere cost £10 with the two charities benefiting from 100 per cent of the ticket price.

This premiere will take place at The Phoenix Theatre on Friday April 12. Visit www.vegas2venice.co.uk to book.
