JIMMY'S HALL - UNA STORIA D'AMORE E LIBERTÀ

In Depression-era Ireland, socialist leader Jimmy Gralton returns home after ten years of exile in America, vowing to lead a quiet life. But seeing the levels of poverty and oppression in his town, the activist in him reawakens. Soon, Jimmy is re-opening the dance hall that led to his deportation.

After his Palme d’Or-winning The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Britain’s Ken Loach returns to Ireland with a film again deeply political and critical of the Catholic Church. Set a decade after the Civil War, with a protagonist active in socialist politics, introducing jazz to rural County Leitrim!
