Give Them Wings wins major award

On the way to the Oscars

Give Them Wings, the life story of Darlington fan Paul Hodgson, has won a major award at the London Independent Film Festival.

Give Them Wings, which is directed by Sean Cronin, won the Best British feature at the Film Festival, which means that it is another step further along the road to the Oscars. It is now entered into the qualifying process.

Paul said; "This is absolutely brilliant news for us, there were over 3,000 entries!  It's like Darlo getting to the 4th Round of the FA Cup."

Sean, who has appeared in many films, such as Mission Impossible, said; "We're on our way!"
