I, Elena Nicola

by Elena Nicola, a recent LSE Sociology graduate – @elenatheolive This is not a review, more something akin to the appreciation of a work of art. Last week, on a very rare occasion, I felt a spark of empowerment from modern film. I, Daniel Blake – Ken Loach’s newest hit blockbuster – was the representation working class people have been waiting years for. So easily forgotten about in Hollywood glamour, the hard-hitting reality of life in the U.K whilst unemployed and seeking support was at the absolute heart of this moving, raw motion picture.
