The Old Oak + Q&A

Join us after the film for a Q&A with Paul Laverty.

Once a thriving mining community, shops are scarce and money scarcer still in a town in the Northeast of England – except for The Old Oak, the last pub standing, kept afloat by the few remaining locals who feel abandoned by the system. When a group of Syrian refugees arrive to be placed in the area’s cheap, vacant homes, tensions in the town begin to rise, but an unlikely union forms between the pub’s affable landlord and an aspiring young photographer.
