Contemporary Quote by Ken Loach

“History is contemporary. Your understanding of history confirms what you think of the present. It's not neutral. I would be very surprised if people with a different view of the present, don't take issue with my view of the past. I just hope that people deal with the content of the film.” quote by Ken Loach — Download Open image
