CANNES: Ken Loach Swipes ‘Hurt Locker’ – Deadline.com

CANNES: Ken Loach Swipes ‘Hurt Locker’ – Deadline.com:

"The Palme d’Or director was pessimistic about democracy in Iraq ever being taking hold. The US will always want to be involved, he said. Laverty predicted many more cases of soldiers developing post-traumatic stress disorder, which, he said, takes between 14-17 years to manifest. One in 10 of the UK prison population are already ex-soldiers. This war will damage families for years after Bush and Blair have made millions from their memoirs, he said.

Loach was realistic as to whether Route Irish will change anything: “In the end, it’s a film, not a political movement.”"
