It will be screened at the Castlemilk Youth Complex, on January 31st. from 19:00 to 21:30, thanks to the worthy effort of Castlemilk Against Austerity.
 
January 31st. 19:00-21:30
39 Ardencraig Road, G45 0EL Glasgow, United Kingdom.
       This event is not just a film showing, there will be a discussion in which you can express, your views on the subject matter of benefits and sanctions as portrayed in the film, and what we can do about these matters
    Castlemilk Against Austerity and RISE: Glasgow South Circle Invite you to come along to the FREE screening and discussion of the new Ken Loach film I Daniel Blake. I, Daniel Blake is a 2016 drama film directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty.
         Daniel Blake has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with a single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern day Britain.
        This is a must see film that truthfully records the inhumane attitudes that are being borne out of the economic policies of austerity. The film will make you feel both sad and angry but will also Inspire you to change it

A Country Of Daniel Blakes.

      In this brutal world of raw capitalism, our country, like most other countries has a multitude of "Daniel Blakes", from north to south, from town to city, honest decent people are being slowly and callously killed. It is not done by bullet or knife, it is done by ideology. Their potential life is being stunted and deliberately shortened. It is planned by faceless well heeled bureaucrats, who never enter the world of the ordinary people. A deliberate policy of demoralising and destroying those surplus to the requirements of capital. For how long will we tolerate seeing our friends, neighbours and family, being deliberately treated to this insidious slow death.
