Community Southwark Foodbank Event Feb 6th, Kennington Bioscope Feb 8th, Bookstall Feb 11th, Kennington Confidential Movie – an escape from Valentine’s Day Feb 14th Community Southwark Foodbank Event Mon February 6th @ 7:30pm   Films For Food returns with a screening of the critically acclaimed film I, Daniel Blake (2016) followed by a panel discussion. Depending on where you get your news from most people have heard the harrowing stories of seemingly arbitrary benefit sanctions, the hoops people have to jump through to get Personal Independent Payments (PIP), becoming financially crippled by the bedroom tax… not to mention welfare cuts – the list goes on and on. The resulting demand on food banks (The Trussell Trust gave out 1.1m food parcels alone during the year to April 2016), and advocacy and support charities has seen a huge increase as more and more people are forced between choosing to heat their homes or put food on the table; between buying their children clothes and having hot water. These struggles are embodied by the film I, Daniel Blake – Ken Loach’s Palme D’or winning depiction of the Kafka-esque navigation of the modern welfare system.
