How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warmhearted drama about working-class men finding dignity and solidarity through music, even as their world crumbles around them. It balances genuine anger at economic injustice with moments of humour and the redemptive power of collaboration.
