International Film Showcase
Sunday April 19 2:00 pm
The British working class is once again the empathetic subject of Ken Loachβs SORRY WE MISSED YOU, a wrenching, intimate family drama that exposes the dark side of the so-called βgig economyβ.
Ricky, a former laborer, and his home-attendant wife Abbyβwho lost their home in the 2008 financial crashβare desperate to get out of their financial distress. When an opportunity comes up for Ricky to work as his own boss as a delivery driver, they sell their only asset, Abbyβs car, to trade it in for a shiny new white van and the dream that Ricky can work his way up to someday owning his own delivery franchise.
β
But the couple find their lives are quickly pushed further to the edge by an unrelenting work schedule, a ruthless supervisor and the needs of their two teenage children. Capturing the sacred moments that make a family as well as the acts of desperation they need to undertake to make it through each day, this universal story is skillfully and indelibly told with unforgettable performances and a searing script by Loachβs long-time collaborator Paul Laverty.
