(Ken Loach, 1971, 108 mins)
Release date: 19 November 2024
Limited Edition Blu-ray (World premiere)
Sandy Ratcliff (Hussy), Bill Dean (Gumshoe), and Malcolm Tierney (McVicar) lead the cast of Family Life, a powerful drama from acclaimed director Ken Loach (Fatherland, Carla’s Song).
When rebellious Janice (Ratcliff) becomes pregnant, her controlling parents insist she has an abortion in order to avoid a scandal, causing Janice to suffer a schizophrenic episode which is exacerbated by the medical treatment she receives.
Produced by Tony Garnett (Prostitute) and adapted by David Mercer (90° in the Shade) from their acclaimed R D Laing-influenced BBC TV drama ‘In Two Minds’, Family Life is a heartbreaking and searing indictment of familial hostility and institutional indifference.
