Ken Loach reflects on The Old Oak, his deeply moving portrait of solidarity, displacement and community in a former mining village in County Durham. Set against the arrival of Syrian refugees in a town scarred by austerity and deindustrialisation, the film explores whether compassion and collective action can survive in fractured times.
