Colin Hampton (EAPN UK): ‘Thanks to everyone for supporting the opening screening of I, Daniel Blake in Chesterfield on Friday. We had an attendance of over 200. Thanks to the Groups that sponsored the event and helped us to provide refreshments for the very lively discussion afterwards. We will be looking to put on Community showings in the New Year.’
‘The truth is that I Daniel Blake is played out every day in front of us with more routine frequency that we have become immune to the grief and suffering inflicted on the poorest in our society. The state machinery is geared towards degradation, humiliation and impoverishment and we must stand against it. See the movie it will re-inspire you . This is Kate Rutter who played the Jobcentre worker in the film and Colin Hampton who organised the special screening (see attached).’ AK
