Synopsis – What to Expect from “I, Daniel Blake”
I, Daniel Blake is a 2016 British drama film written and directed by Ken Loach. It tells the story of Daniel Blake, a 59-year-old joiner from Newcastle upon Tyne. After suffering a heart attack, he is declared unfit for work by his doctor, but the government’s Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) system denies him benefits. Desperate and frustrated, Daniel must rely on the help of his new-found friends Katie and her two children, who are also struggling to make ends meet.
The film follows Daniel’s struggles to navigate the ESA system and his attempts to find a job while dealing with his health issues and helping Katie and her children. As the bureaucracy of the system continues to deny him the help he needs, Daniel’s frustration and desperation grow, and he is forced to take matters into his own hands.
The film is a powerful exploration of the realities of poverty and the struggles of those living on the margins of society. It is a story of resilience and hope in the face of adversity, and of the power of human connection and solidarity. With its honest and emotional portrayal of the harsh realities of life for those living in poverty, I, Daniel Blake is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
