People talk of poverty today and they are clueless. Kes shows it like it really was then. No airs and graces, two and three to a bed with coats to keep warm. The pit, the mills thats all that people of my generation had to look forward to. But we had and each other. You compare those times, that generation and the generation before it that endured the war with todays take take take generation. They have no idea, I hope films like this maybe lets them know how lucky they are
