Benefits system in the UK society
Jeremy Corbyn usually stands up for the working class.
Story is relatable to working class.
The films shows people who are not effected by the issues portrayed in the film the issues in the benefits system.
Political views in the film
Left win: Welfare, public provision, collectivism and institutional welfare.
Political issues: Blake is refused benefits although he has suffered and can't work. Brings up a flaw in the policy as he needs the money but he isn't qualified for benefits.
The welfare state: funded by taxes and it is set up to help people who are in need. People get them if they are unemployed and actively seeking work or if they can't work.
The film reflects real issues with the system.

Ken Loach (director)
Socialist
His political views were shown through I, Daniel Blake.
Never went to the Hollywood industry as it wouldn't fit his style/ideas.
Loach is an Auteur meaning that he has a range of films that have a specific stamp that are unique to that director. Although he doesn't want to be an Auteur as he want's all his films to be unique.
