I, Daniel Blake

• Who directed I, Daniel Blake

  Ken Loach
• I, Daniel Blake is an independent film as it did not have the backing /funding of any big companies
• Ken Loach is a social campaigner so all of his films take on the challenge of getting a meaning across to an audience to inspire social change
• As it was an independent film, there were no huge stars that featured in it. Ken Loach's name was enough to draw people to watch it as he is very well respected in this genre
• IDB challenged curran and seaton's theory as it the film was not driven by profit and power and was not produced by a large company so therefore it has more variety.
