I, Daniel Blake (2016)
Movie
Released
A carpenter's attempt to claim support runs into forms and digital procedures that treat difficulty complying as a personal failure. The film makes help from another claimant matter because official contact is so often conditional. Its direct emotional approach is far from Kafka's dream logic, and poverty and humiliation make it a hard evening.

About I, Daniel Blake
A 59-year-old carpenter recovering from a heart attack befriends a single mother and her two kids as they navigate the impersonal, Kafkaesque benefits system. With equal amounts of humour, warmth and despair, the journey is heartfelt and emotional until the end.
