The Old Oak is a story of two traumatised communities thrown together.
Ken Loach has talked about the “very good people” helping to look after Syrian refugees, which is the subject of his latest film.
In an interview with the Big Issue magazine, the film director said the story is infused with hope, as common ground is found between a community of refugees fleeing war and a local area decimated by “decades of government neglect”. “We couldn’t be in a more disastrous situation with civil society collapsing around us, health, education, homelessness, housing, student debt, poverty and hunger used as a weapon, transport collapsing.“So, where you find hope in all that is the big question.
