Movie: The Old Oak

The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in northern England, a gathering space for a community that has fallen through hard times. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the floundering village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between the community and its newest inhabitants. The formation of an unexpected friendship between Old Oak proprietor TJ and a young Syrian woman named Yara opens up new possibilities for the divided village. Dave Turner, Ebla Mari. NR, 113 mins.
