The Film Premier of the Hull Freedom Trail film 'Hull of a drive' took place at the Vue Cinema at the top of the Princes Quay Complex on Tuesday 15th April, 2008.  The Lord Mayor and her escort were in attendance to see the film and to meet the 24 trekkers at the reception which followed the film.  The drivers of the Rotary sponsored vehicle, Bas Blackbourn, Chrissy Moog and Dr. Isobel Fleming were on hand to explain Rotary's patronage of the event.

The instigator of the Trail, Jonathan Richards, gave a short lead-in to the film, in which he introduced Rita from one of the benefitting charities in Sierra Leone.  She said how much she appreciated what the team had done and how useful the 4 X 4 would be to the orphanage.  Jonathan then praised the work of the producer of the film; Claudio explained a few of the difficulties that he had overcome to make the film and also what fun it had been to work with a bunch of ordinary people completing an extraordinary task.  He praised the film editors who had had the difficult job of selecting ninety minutes out of the 80 Hours of film that he had shot.
