After such a long and successful career, Loach, who is 87 years old, has announced that The Old Oak will be his final film. It tackles the issue of asylum and anti-immigrant prejudice in a once-thriving mining village in Northern England. The last-standing pub, the Old Oak, and its owner, TJ, offer a setting for collective coping with the tough times. But, when a group of Syrian refugees moves into the village, rifts fueled by bigotry develop both within the community and between the community and its newest inhabitants. The unexpected friendship between TJ and a young Syrian woman, Yara, plus an enduring working-class ethos open up new possibilities for the divided village in this deeply moving drama. (Ken Loach, UK 2023, 113 min., DCP) A joint effort of the Dryden Theatre and the Rochester Labor Council, the Rochester Labor Film Series presents motion pictures celebrating workers around the world.
