| Land & Freedom |
Veteran director Ken Loach works in a near-documentary style that emphasises the grit of everyday life, the cynical secretiveness of political leaders and the nobility of small people with big ideals.
The story follows David (Ian Hart), a young, working-class communist from Liverpool who enlists in a polyglot international brigade during the Spanish Civil War.
Exploring complex themes around working-class loyalty and the class struggle, Loach's
Land & Freedom is a carefully observed portrait of ordinary people in an extraordinary situation that changes them forever.
