Ken Loach was born in 1936 in Nuneaton. He attended King Edward VI Grammar School and went on to study law at St. Peter's Hall, Oxford. After a brief spell in the theatre, Loach was recruited by the BBC in 1963 as a television director. This launched a long career directing films for television and the cinema, from CATHY COME HOME and KES in the sixties to LAND AND FREEDOM, SWEET SIXTEEN, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY... in recent years. In 2001, 2002 and 2006 Loach won Best Director of a British Independent Film at the BIFAs and in 2006 was awarded The Special Jury Prize.
