DARA ( Deal Area Refugee Aid ) in association with Deal Film Club will be screening The Old Oak as part of Refugee Week ( June 17-23)
This self-declared final film from 87-year-old British director Ken Loach (Kes; I, Daniel Blake), is a deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and finding hope.
The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in northern England. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the neighbourhood, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between within the community. However, the unexpected friendship that forms between The Old Oak’s landlord and a young Syrian woman opens up new possibilities for healing divisions.
