KEN LOACH: The ART of ACTIVISM

For Ken Loach, cinema is a means of bringing about a different, fairer society, by awakening the viewer's conscience, provoking anger and indignation. He is the rebel artist par excellence. His very definition. His quintessence. In fact, England's Ken Loach is the most committed, celebrated and respected filmmaker of our time. The most awarded too, a member of the exclusive club of directors to have won two Palmes d'Or. His enemy, whom he fights tirelessly: English-style neoliberalism, which, from his point of view, favors the powerful and enslaves, crushes and crushes the weakest, those whom Loach has made his ardent defender. And yet, far from being confined to British society, his humanist work upsets, moves and sometimes makes people laugh all over the world - particularly in France, where he is acclaimed - thus proving its universal dimension. Like all great works... This documentary looks back on a rebellious career spanning 60 years, devoted entirely to challenging power, denouncing injustice and shining a light on the disenfranchised.
