I, Daniel Blake

I, Daniel Blake is a 2016 British drama directed by Ken Loach.

It won the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film in 2017, and it sparked political debate in Britain, with Conservative officials criticizing it and Labour figures praising its portrayal of welfare system failures. It holds a ninety two percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
