'I, Daniel Blake' Movie Represents The Challenges Of Being In Welfare; Movie One Of The Best British Film For 2016?

The movie" I, Daniel Blake" is a good representation of how one struggles with the demanding life of modern day Britain, especially under the support of welfare. It is considered rather challenging to take on day-to-day life being under very limited resources and loss of a job.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie "I, Daniel Blake" is about the character Daniel Blake who worked as a joiner for most of his life in Newcastle. For the first time, he is in dire need of help and support from the State.

The movie then continues as Daniel Blake crosses paths with a single mother, Katie and her two young daughters named Daisy and Dylan. Katie is in desperate need to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London. She needs to relocate to a flat she is not familiar with 300 miles away.

Both Daniel and Katie find themselves in a challenging and compromising situation where they have to battle bureaucracy and politics. At this point, they seem to be stuck and helpless to just go with the flow otherwise the support they need may be delayed.
