I, Daniel Blake

I, Daniel Blake (2016)

My name is Daniel Blake. I am a man, not a dog.

A 59-year-old carpenter recovering from a heart attack befriends a single mother and her two kids as they navigate the impersonal, Kafkaesque benefits system. With equal amounts of humour, warmth and despair, the journey is heartfelt and emotional until the end.
