Cathy Come Home

Directed by Ken Loach

With Carol White, Ray Brooks, Wally Patch, Adrienne Frame and Winifred Dennis

Cathy and Reg are a couple with three young children, who find their life spiralling into poverty when Reg loses his well-paid job. Gripping and emotional, Cathy Come Home remains a truly ground-breaking piece of dramatic fiction, engaging viewers with social issues, such as homelessness, unemployment and the rights of mothers to keep their own children.
