Working class identities in the 1960s : watch a film clip.
Click on the title above to watch a ten minute extract from "Kes", a successful film by Ken Loach. It is about a working class boy in the 1960s, and his experience in the rough school he went to.
The 1960s was a period of a general rise in living standards for the working class, but not everyone benefited, and there were still many pockets of severe poverty.
