This thesis explores Ken Loach's portrayal of socialist ideals in his films, particularly "1916: Joining Up" and "The Wind that Shakes the Barley." Loach, a self-proclaimed socialist filmmaker, is known for his commitment to depicting the struggles of the British working class and advocating for social justice. The study aims to analyze Loach's narrative techniques, film strategies, and ideological themes within the context of socialist principles and Marxist theory. It also examines the impact of his films on discussions surrounding class struggle and social change, highlighting cinema's role in shaping socio-political discourse. Through this analysis, the thesis contributes to understanding Loach's cinematic interventions and their significance in the broader field of film studies and socialist cinema.
