Overview: TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) is suffering from a Job-like ordeal: he is divorced and depressed. The Old Oak is his run down pub in a run down town in N.E.England and his regulars are seething because real estate companies are buying up properties for a song and renting them out. Then a bus load of terrified Syrians arrive and the tension gets worse. It’s not all doom and gloom however, as Loach ends the film with a ringing statement of faith in compassion for the oppressed.
