Overview

The film I, Daniel Blake - directed by Ken Loach and winner of Best British Film at the BAFTAs and Palme D’Or at Cannes - tells the story of two people’s struggles with an oppressive and dehumanising benefits system, and represents themes of oppression, compassion and radical response that are at the heart of the Christian gospel. This five-week Lent study, suitable for groups or individuals,encourages readers to consider the stories of the film and how Christians may be called to respond. The chapters cover: Systems of oppression, Staying human,Compassion in the darkness, Fighting back or giving in?, and the suffering servant. Nothing more and Nothing less should be studied alongside the film of I, Daniel Blake - the book includes scene timings for key scenes, discussion points, meditations and suggested prayers.
