  • I, DANIEL BLAKE Community Screenings

    April 3, 2017

    I, DANIEL BLAKE

    On Friday March 3rd, Disability History Scotland and Greater Leith Against the Cuts held a community screening of Ken Loach’s I, Daniel Blake at the Leith Community Education Centre. The BAFTA award-winning film follows Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) a 59 year-old joiner unemployed due to illness, caught in the bureaucracy of work capability assessments and benefits sanctions in modern Britain. Although a drama, it’s not truly fictional – certainly, I, Daniel Blake captures the reality of many citizens who have experienced cruel and illogical benefits sanctions, as well as being forced into finding work when they have a disability that prevents them from doing so, and is a far truer account of the modern ‘welfare state’ than you’ll ever receive from the current government.
