Free tickets for Ken Loach's The Navigators

Issue 

Acclaimed British director Ken Loach's latest film, The Navigators, deals with the experiences of a group of South Yorkshire railway track workers coping with the privatisation of British Rail. The Navigators reveals the "view from below" as the workers have to "navigate" their way through the chaos and crises to which privatisation leads. Loach also pays tribute to the original "navigators" or "navvies" who constructed the British railways in the 19th century.
