Writer/director Alex Cox will be present for the UK Premiere of Repo Chick and will participate in a post-screening Q&A.

Arrested 18 times, banned from driving and living life in the fast lane, society heiress Pixie De LaChasse (Jaclyn Jonet) is disinherited by her family and stripped of her $77 million fortune. Ordered to – eeek! – get a job, Pixie hits the road with her punky entourage and becomes a repo chick for ace repossession agent Arizona Gray. But as her eyes are opened to the wider world, Pixie joins up with a band of environmental terrorists with one aim in mind: to criminalise golf!
