"I, Daniel Blake," which opens in UK theaters on Friday and
in U.S. theaters in December, stars comedian Dave Johns as
joiner Daniel, who is denied disability benefits when unable to
work through illness.
He befriends young mother Katie (newcomer Hayley Squires) as
they battle with the authorities.
The film won the prestigious Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or
trophy for drama earlier this year.
