Circa 1932, Jimmy Gralton of Ireland, organizes a community hall where volunteers teach reading, arts, dancing, etc. to impoverished land laborers who work on the large estates of the wealthy. Jimmy meets significant resistance from the Catholic Church, which backed the wealthy who cast laborers off their small plots of land which they had worked for decades because fell behind on rent payments during the world-wide depression. Kinda' seems similar to American 2016, where the inequality is now similar to that of 1932, where the 99% stuggle while the 1% flourish. Loach’s next film, “I, Daniel Blake,” would win the Cannes Palme d’Or for best film of the year, Loach's second such win.
