This series is powerful and brilliantly written, a perspective that was crying out to be seen. I was in tears during pretty much every episode, the wonderful characters the realism and the message that imperfection is a beautiful thing and every life lost mattered wiped away every tear shed and is replaced by a celebration of life itself in the end.

Sorry We Missed You
(2019)
Shines a light on the gig economy
4 November 2019
Ken Loach films are always on point, no matter the issues and societal ills being explored. Sorry We Missed You takes its audience into the life of a family whose circumstances result in both parents being at the mercy of zero hours contracts and corporate misuse of self employment to exploit their workforce for bigger profits. Its a sad indictment of our society and the gig economy which journeys more and more towards placing higher value on the pursuit of profit over the lives and well being of ordinary working class people. Anyone who buys on line and has your parcel delivered to your door or has relatives who rely on paid carers should watch this film to fully appreciate what they do for us and the sacrifices and hardships they may be facing.
