The Old Oak

Director – Ken Loach

Running Time: 1h 53m

Friday 2nd August 7:30pm

The Old Oak is the last remaining pub in a once thriving pit village somewhere in northern England. It acts as a community centre for the demoralised locals.

When a group of Syrian refugees is moved into the village the inevitable rift develops between the two groups.

The formation of an unlikely friendship between the pub landlord and a young Syrian woman opens up new possibilities for the divided village.

It is a moving drama about loss, fear and finding hope.

“Ken Loach is going out on an artistic high”
