I, Daniel Blake - A movie worth viewing.
This excellent movie is coming up on Maori Tv next Sunday 9th September. Based on a real story, its 5 star rating is thoroughly deserved for the story line could be the experience of many the world over. NZ no exception.
After having suffered a heart-attack, a 59-year-old carpenter must fight the bureaucratic forces of the system in order to receive Employment and Support Allowance.
Might I suggest it should be compulsory viewing for staff employed by ACC and WINZ . . . even used during orientation exercises.
You will smile, laugh, cheer and maybe even shed a tear. Pencil it in - Maori TV 9 Sept, 8.30pm. It lives up to its Five Stars.
