COMPETITION: WIN A ‘DEVIL’S KNOT’ PRIZE PACK!
.................................................................
Thanks to Icon Films, we have a prize pack to give away to celebrate the upcoming release of the thrilling new drama DEVIL’S KNOT, starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth.
DEVIL’S KNOT is based a harrowing true story of the West Memphis Three, in which three teenagers from a small Arkansas town were charged with the savage murder of three little boys. The ensuing investigation and court case proves controversial, particularly for a grieving mother (Witherspoon) and an investigator (Firth), as it threatens to tear the community apart.
The film will be screening at Dendy Canberra from July 24. For a look at its trailer, head over to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofkn4zYrF5U

Entries close on Tuesday 22 July at 5 PM. The winner will be drawn from all correct entries received and contacted via email, with prizes to be collected at ANU Film Group screenings.
