Ken Loach is currently making a film about Jeremy Corbyn in order to "show what he's really like", the director has told BuzzFeed News.



Loach, the man behind the likes of Kes, Cathy Come Home, and the recent award-winning I, Daniel Blake, has spent time on the road with Corbyn during the early days of the election campaign with a view to making a party political broadcast focusing on the Labour leader's human side.

The director said he felt Corbyn's ability to bond with ordinary people wasn't being reported fairly.

"Of course the press won't report this, the BBC and ITV won't show it," said Loach, in reference to coverage of the Labour leader's character. "All the evidence shows they're hostile to him in a way that's quite different to any other political leader. So we're trying to get it on record that he is actually a human being."



On Monday the director travelled with a sizeable film crew to record footage in Worcester, where he interviewed nurses who had just met Corbyn and recorded their views on the Labour leader's NHS policies.
