The Spirit of '45: An Evening with Ken Loach

Wednesday, August 17, 2016
The Quad, Derby, Derby, United Kingdom

What you need to know

Join us for an evening of film and discussion with acclaimed director, Ken Loach.

After a screening of his 2013 film The Spirit of '45, there will be a public Question & Answer session with director, Ken Loach, exploring the continuing class struggle in the UK.

The Spirit of '45 is a post-war documentary embracing the spirit of unity that took over Britain in 1945. Using footage from Britain's national and regional archives, Loach creates an hour and a half critically acclaimed work. This political and social narrative looks at the uplifting way in which communities came together to rebuild Britain following World War 2.


Can this spirit of solidarity be rekindled today?


“The achievements of the '45 Labour government have largely been written out of our history. From near economic collapse we took leading industries into public ownership and established the Welfare State. Generosity, mutual support and co-operation were the watch words of the age. It is time to remember the determination of those who were intent on building a better world.” - Ken Loach


This film screening and live Q&A is hosted by Momentum, at the invitation of Ken Loach.

We now invite you to share this celebration of the 1945 rebuilding of a new and better Britain.

We invite you to participate in the dialogue about how we, as a nation, recapture this spirit for a new and changing age.
