About the film

The film follows the story of Billy Casper, growing up in the late 1960s in a poor South Yorkshire mining community and in a dysfunctional working-class family. He is picked on, both at home by his older half-brother, Jud, and at school by his schoolmates and abusive teachers and is often provoked into fights with classmates.

One day, Billy takes a kestrel from a nest on a farm and after stealing a book on the subject from a book shop starts training "Kes" which gives him hope for the future.

It was ranked seventh in the BFI's Top 100 British films.

The film has been much praised, especially for the performance of the teenage David Bradley, who had never acted before, in the lead role, and for Loach's compassionate treatment of his working-class subject; it remains a biting indictment of the British educational system of the time as well as of the limited career options available to lower-class, unskilled workers in regional Britain.

Please note: this is a vintage-style reproduction print and is not an original vintage film poster.
