Talk about movies and cinema here! Everything and anything!
(Err, so long as it's in good faith, not provocative or trigger-worthy, isn't just for reactionary nonsense, etc., etc., etc. Gonna remain extra careful here!)

Anything by Ken Loach. 'I'm Sorry We Missed You', about zero-hours subcontracted labour in the UK and 'I, Daniel Blake', about the collapse of British social welfare especially.
He's particularly tuned in to UK socialist movements and his work well worth watching
I was searching for these movies and discovered that he also made The Wind that Shakes the Barley, a movie about the Irish Anti-Imperialists in the 20s. It was a great movie and one I intend to watch again, I look forward to seeing his other works
