Ricky (Kris Hitchen) and his family have been struggling hard with debt since the 2008 financial collapse. At some point, Ricky has an opportunity to regain some independence with a brand new van and the possibility of starting his own business as a delivery driver. It's hard work, but his wife’s job as a caregiver is no easier. The family is strong, but when both are pushed in different directions, the breaking point becomes imminent.

Director
Ken Loach
Kenneth “Ken” Loach is an English television and film director. His politically charged directing style and socialist ideals are evident in the treatment of social issues such as poverty (Poor Cow, 1967), homelessness (Cathy Come Home, 1966) and labour rights (Riff-Raff, 1991, and The Navigators, 2001) in his films. In 2016, Loach said his work challenged the notion that films on working class people were necessarily dour, believing it harder to find humour in rich people’s lives. Two of his films, The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) and I, Daniel Blake (2016) received the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, making him into the ninth filmmaker to win the award twice.
