– I, Daniel Blake –
Only in cinemas from 17 November 2016
We have 5 double in-season passes thanks to Transmission Films.
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.
