Ken Loach is one of Britain's most formidable film-makers, whose honours include the Cannes Festival's highest prize - the Palme d'or. The greatest exponent of the social realist tradition in cinema and television history, Ken Loach remains a vital international voice of conscience -- his dramas, comedies, and documentaries dedicated to the cause of ordinary working people, oppressed and deprived by uncaring employers, governments, and social systems. This second edition of Loach on Loach completes the director's personal account (expressed, as always, with surpassing modesty) of his prolific but frequently embattled sixty-year career, which spans such landmarks as his revolutionary TV dramas Up the Junction and Cathy Come Home, his domestic masterpieces Kes and Raining Stones, his war epics Land and Freedom and The Wind That Shakes the Barley, and his searing, trenchant later dramas set in Scotland and England's north-east.
