Kenneth Loach is an English filmmaker who has a socially critical directing style and his social views are evident in his use of social issues such as poverty, homelessness and labour rights.
The films he is most known for are:
Sorry We Missed You (2019)
The angels’ share (2012)
I, Daniel Blake (2016)
The wind that shakes The Barleys (2006)
As Loach's career went on, he became more and more controversial within the film industry. The political landscape shifted as time went on and Loach ended up making many enemies. Unlike many of his peers, Loach refused to go and work in America and so this decision paired with the fact that he was made to feel 'unwelcome' by the British film industry meant it was hard for him to get his films made. Loach's films are full of ideologies that the higher-ups might not have agreed with, as he is known for making movies that are angry, defiant, and always telling us things we might not necessarily want to hear.
