Good People

The Old Oak UK, 2023, Drama, 105 mins, Rated M

TJ is struggling to hold onto his pub in England's Northeast where people are leaving town as all the mines have closed.
Local tensions flare when Syrian refugees are housed in the town, a situation not helped by the community arguing about the upcoming vote on Brexit.
But TJ welcomes the refugees as he tries to carve out a future for himself, the community and his pub.
'From Ken Loach, the director of "I, Daniel Blake" and "Sorry We Missed You" comes yet another powerful and deeply moving story.'

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
