Synopsis
Adapted from the novel ‘A Kestrel for a Knave’ by author Barry
Hines with Ken Loach and Tony Garnett, KES garnered international
acclaim for director Ken Loach on its 1969 release.
This enormously moving tale centres on a lonely working-class
Yorkshire boy, Billy (David Bradley) who turns away from a life of
comic books and shoplifting when he finds a baby kestrel and decides
to concentrate instead on raising and training it.
The new restoration is now available on DCP and 35mm prints.
