Dorchester Arts is set to showcase two films highlighting the challenges and triumphs of living with Parkinson's.
The event will take place at Dorchester Corn Exchange on Tuesday, October 6, starting at 6pm, with doors opening at 5.30pm.
The films, World's Toughest Drive: My African Adventure and Kinetics, will be screened as a fundraising effort for Dorchester Arts' Parkinson's Dance classes, which take place in Sherborne and Dorchester.
The evening will commence with World's Toughest Drive: My African Adventure, which follows former Army colonel Guy Deacon CBE's extraordinary solo journey from the UK to South Africa.

Throughout his journey, Mr Deacon travelled through 25 countries in a VW van.
The film tells a powerful story of courage, showing Mr Deacon's determination to not let Parkinson's define his life.
The second film, Kinetics, is adapted from Sue Wylie's acclaimed stage play.
Inspired by her own experience of early-onset Parkinson's, the film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between two characters, Rose and Lukas.
Both films provide unique perspectives on Parkinson's disease, from an extraordinary physical adventure to an intimate tale of friendship.
Despite their differences, they share a common message about resilience and living life to the fullest.
The event aims to raise funds for Dorchester Arts' Parkinson's Dance classes, which are designed with therapeutic benefits and movement specifically for the symptoms of Parkinson's.
Tickets for the event are priced at £14 and the event is seated.
