Ken Loach’s 2006 Palme D’Or winning film is a heartfelt and stirring epic exploring the rift that emerges between two brothers who find themselves fighting against one another in the conflict over Irish independence in the early 1920s. Presented from a 35mm print, this screening will be preceded by a special introduction by the filmmakers.
