We're happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Ken Loach's acclaimed Palme d'Or winner, I, Daniel Blake.
SYNOPSIS: Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, the latest from legendary director Ken Loach is a gripping, human tale about the impact one man can make. Gruff but goodhearted, Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is a man out of time: a widowed woodworker who’s never owned a computer, he lives according to his own common sense moral code. But after a heart attack leaves him unable to work and the state welfare system fails him, the stubbornly self-reliant Daniel must stand up and fight for his dignity, leading a one-man crusade for compassion that will transform the lives of a struggling single mother (Hayley Squires) and her two children. Graced with humor and heart, I, Daniel Blake is a moving, much-needed reminder of the power of empathy from one of the world’s greatest living filmmakers.
The screening takes place on Thursday, June 1st at 7:30pm at Landmark E Street Cinema. If you'd like to attend, simply download and print the below E-pass. Please remember that having passes does not guarantee entry. You'll still need to arrive early to ensure receiving a seat. Enjoy the show!
I, Daniel Blake opens in DC on June 2nd.
