'It's a Free World' A Summary and Critique by Margot Jonckheere and Jessica Da Silva



The film focuses on a  British woman who wants to create her own recruitment agency. At the begining of the film, we can see a scene where Angie is fired because she refuses to accept the avances of her boss. So Angie doesn't understand this decision because she thinks she is the most efficient emplyee working for this particular company. She feels that she is exploited by her boss.
That's why she threatens to sue her boss but instead she decides to create her own agency with her friend Rose. But Rose doesnt agree because she anticipates all kinds of problems like taxes, administrative papers... etc.. Rose thinks that they don't have the experience and the right contacts. Angie thinks it's possible: She's determined.
So, the two girls go to a pub and Angie explains her idea to install the agency in the back yard of this pub.
A few days later, they start their business: the concept of this agency is to recruit people who come  to the yard but they are not sure to work. It shows us the point of view of immigrant  workers. Ken Loach shows us their misery. It's really touching because we see this woman who has more and more problems because she wants to prove that she can create and manage her own company. She has more and more debts because she promises to pay her employees but the company where they work don't want to pay Angie.
She has many problems because she doesn't want to hire people who haven't legal papers. Immigrants are violent, they threaten her. This film presents us the real life, and we can see what happens in the world. The social inequalities and also the struggle of a desperate mother. She can't manage the education of her son, because of her work which takes a lot of her time.
After, her son goes to open the door to receive the pizza they have ordered. But her son is kidnapped by the immigrants, they also threaten Angie because they want to be paid.
During the film, Rose leaves the project with Angie because she doesn't agree with her behaviour. She continues the project alone and at the end of the film we can see Angie recruiting people to work in England. She is determined. This movie makes us sad and we can better unstand the inequalities in the world.
