Zusammenfassung:The experiences of a working-class family from World War I to the General Strike of 1926 ... "Days of Hope" (1975) was Ken Loach's first historical piece and, although tracing events fifty or more years previous, it was strongly informed by the contemporary situation of the 1970s. Parallels can be drawn between the political and industrial struggles of the 1910s and '20s and the 1970s, particularly in the treatment of the 1926 General Strike and the industrial unrest. Loach has commented that the filmmakers hoped to provoke debate on how to achieve social and political change. The series was met with an outcry from sections of the British press and the army, and from Conservative politicians, who condemned the series for its critical portrayal of the army, government and police.
