Award-winning British filmmaker Ken Loach has donated all proceeds from screenings of his latest film in Israeli venues to the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) as a gesture of support for the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and equality.
Loach’s film “I, Daniel Blake” was screened in Israel against his wishes. We at the BNC are very moved by his gesture of solidarity and are heartened, as always, by his long-standing, principled and unwavering support for the Palestinian nonviolent struggle against Israeli military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.
