Jimmy's Hall
Ken Loach has made some terrific movies during his career, and now he is back with the powerful and poignant drama Jimmy's Hall.
The movie is based on an incredible true story of political activist James Gralton, and his battle with the Catholic Church in Ireland in the 1920s.
This is the first live action film for Loach since The Angels' Share in 2012, as he reunites with writer Paul Laverty: who wrote The Angels' Share and The Wind That Shakes The Barley.
Check out the first trailer for the film:
Barry Ward takes on the role of James Gralton, while Simone Kirby, Andrew Scott, Jim Norton and Brian F.O'Bryne are all also on board.
In 1921, Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland, where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun.
Jimmy's Hall celebrates the spirit of these free-thinkers.
Jimmy's Hall is released 30th May.
