CE Family Law and To Be Loved invites you to the special screening of awarding winning short film ‘Tommy’. The film shines a light on childhood trauma in family separation. Following the screening, we will host an exclusive discussion and Q&A, drinks, canapés and the chance to catch up with friends and colleagues.
