I, DANIEL BLAKE (2016)
Starring Dave Johns, Hayley Squires, Dylan McKiernan, Briana Shann, Kate Rutter, Sharon Percy, Kema Sikazwe, Natalie Ann Jamieson, Micky McGregor and Colin Coombs. Directed by Ken Loach.
Daniel Blake has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle, UK. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with a single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern day Britain.

JIMMY'S HALL (2014)
Starring Barry Ward, Simone Kirby, Jim Norton, Andrew Scott, Brían F. O'Byrne, Francis Magee, Karl Geary, Shane Cullen, Sean Fox and Sorcha Fox. Directed by Ken Loach.
James Gralton is the only person to be ever deported from Ireland. Gralton was an Irish communist leader who took U.S. citizenship after emigrating there in 1909. However, he returned to Ireland and started a dance hall in Effrinagh, County Leitrim and used the venue to propagate his political views. This was opposed by the Catholic clergy and eventually led to a shooting. This led to Gralton being arrested and deported to the U.S. in 1933 by the government led by Éamon de Valera.

THE SPIRIT OF '45
Starring Kate Hardie, Jamie Michie, Tansy Hoskins, Trevor Fox, Mark Womack and Tony Benn. Directed by Ken Loach.
1945 was a pivotal year in British history. The unity that carried Britain through the war allied to the bitter memories of the inter-war years led to a vision of a better society. The spirit of the age was to be our brother’s and our sister’s keeper. Director Ken Loach has used film from Britain’s regional and national archives, alongside sound recordings and contemporary interviews, to create a rich political and social narrative. The Spirit of '45 hopes to illuminate and celebrate a period of unprecedented community spirit in the UK, the impact of which endured for many years and which may yet be rediscovered today.
