Ken Loach won the Palme D’or at this years Cannes Film Festival for his deeply moving, starkly realistic portrayal of a man thrust into the benefits system after suffering a heart attack. Declared fit to work despite his illness, Daniel must navigate the endless red tape and bureaucracy whilst struggling to keep a roof over his head, meanwhile befriending a young single mother in the same position. Unrelenting and devastating, a damning indictment on our society and a powerful call to arms.

This special one-off screening is a unique opportunity to hear the man behind this powerful film speak in the flesh about not only his film, but also the realities of the welfare system on which so many depend.

This special screening will be introduced by Ken Loach with a Q&A before the film.
