I, Daniel Blake

2016 | 100 min | K-7 | drama

“I, Daniel Blake” is a drama film that tells the story of Daniel Blake, a 59-year-old British man who struggles with health problems and a bureaucratic labyrinth.

The story begins when Daniel has a heart attack, and his doctor prohibits him from returning to work. He applies for sickness benefits but encounters a complex and unforgiving social security system that seems to not understand his situation. The bureaucratic labyrinth forces him to navigate through many difficult obstacles to get the support he needs.

At the same time, he meets Katie, a single mother with two children, who are also at the mercy of the system. Daniel and Katie form a strong friendship, helping each other survive with their difficulties.

The film explores the challenges people face in today’s society, particularly the bureaucracy of the social security system and the disregard for human needs. It also examines the strength of community and solidarity during tough times.

The movie was awarded a BAFTA for “Outstanding British Film of the Year.”
