Join a screening of iconic coming-of-age story Kes at WX!
Director: Ken Loach
Genre: Drama
Running Time: 106 minutes
In the working-class heart of Yorkshire, young Billy Casper struggles against a bleak future dictated by his harsh surroundings. Bullied at school and ignored at home, he finds an unexpected sense of freedom and purpose when he discovers and trains a wild kestrel. As Billy forms a deep bond with the bird, Kes becomes a poignant and powerful tale of resilience, hope, and the bittersweet realities of growing up in a world that offers little escape. Based on Barry Hines’ novel A Kestrel for a Knave, this British classic captures the raw beauty and heartbreak of childhood with stunning realism.
