CIFF – I, Daniel Blake

I, Daniel Blake is a moving, relevant, realistic film about two middle class Brits being dragged down by the system.  Although this is set in Great Britain, it just as easily could have been set in the U.S. The story is simply told through words and images.  What is not said is just as important here, as what little is said.  There are two distinct stories – one of the effect of the system upon those seeking help and another of the effect of the system on those charged with providing it.  All have their humanity diminished.

My ratings above speak for themselves.  Be sure to be on the lookout for this special film.
