Part of our Ken Loach at 90 retrospective

A compassionate and thought-provoking British drama from director Ken Loach. After a serious health setback leaves him unable to work, Daniel Blake finds himself caught in a frustrating and impersonal benefits system. Along the way, he forms an unlikely friendship with Katie, a single mother striving to build a better life for her family. Through their shared struggles, the film explores themes of dignity, resilience and the importance of human kindness. Honest, moving and deeply humane, I, Daniel Blake offers a powerful portrait of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges in contemporary Britain.
