The Old Oak (15)
29th September 2023 - 12th October 2023
Event Navigation
Directed by Ken Loach, THE OLD OAK is the story of a village in the Northeast of England, where the mine closed, and people feel deserted by the system. Many young ones have left and what was once a thriving, proud community struggles to keep old values alive.
But there is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope. Houses are cheap and available. This makes it an ideal location for the Syrian refugees that have been accepted by Britain in recent years. How will the Syrians be received? And what will be the future for the last remaining pub in the village, The Old Oak?
Cert: 15

Excellent film. Willingness to acknowledge the pain of two communities and see that there is still hope despite the racism which disguises the real and shared needs of the indigenous community (destroyed as a pit village) and refugees whose country has been destroyed by war. A film of pathos over which I shed tears but came out hopeful. Mr Loach put me through the wringer. Thankyou.
