Based on the novel by Nell Dunn, Poor Cow is shot with a naturalistic style and a sympathetic eye for people under the harshest social conditions. Released almost 50 years ago, Loach’s debut still has striking relevance for a modern audience; a society where poverty and lack of opportunity continue to adversely affect the lives of those with the least privilege.
Short film Home screens with selected shows of Poor Cow from Fri 24 Jun.
