The Old Oak

2023 | 113 min | K-12 | drama

According to Ken Loach, his latest film encapsulates the overarching societal themes of the award-winning director’s entire career. When Syrian refugees are housed in a former mining town in England, emotions begin to boil over at the only remaining pub in the declining village, The Old Oak. The incoming refugees fleeing from war are seen as a threat by the locals, who already have plenty of their own problems. However, young Yara, who dreams of becoming a photographer, befriends the pub’s landlord, TJ. Slowly, people from different walks of life start finding their way to the same table.
