**This Show has Captions ON the film**
THE OLD OAK is the story of a village in the Northeast of England, where the mine closed, and people feel deserted by the system. Many young ones have left and what was once a thriving, proud community struggles to keep old values alive. But there is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope. Houses are cheap and available. This makes it an ideal location for the Syrian refugees that have been accepted by Britain in recent years. How will the Syrians be received? And what will be the future for the last remaining pub in the village, The Old Oak?
Film Reviews:
"This is a humane, ultimately hopeful tale of empathy and solidarity and a refreshingly honest look at the many corners of our communities that Hollywood avoids by default". - Ana Yorke| Rotten Tomatoes
"Despite the tide of misery that usually engulfs his characters, Loach is an optimist. He wants to believe human beings are basically good-hearted, no matter how their attitudes may be deformed by circumstances". - John McDonald | Rotten Tomatoes
