Kenneth Charles “Ken” Loach (born 17 June 1936) is an English director of television and independent film. He is known for his socially critical directing style and for his socialist ideals, which are evident in his film treatment of social issues such as poverty, homelessness (Cathy Come Home, 1966) and labour rights (Riff-Raff, 1991, and The Navigators, 2001).

Lemonaid is a social business from the heart of Hamburg. We produce the soft drinks Lemonaid and ChariTea. We support a humane and fair agriculture by using raw ingredients sourced from small-scale farming cooperatives all over the world. What’s more, a fixed amount per bottle sold goes directly towards supporting Lemonaid and ChariTea’s charitable social Projects. This is our contribution towards creating a better world.

FilmFabrique Kollektiv is a network of film-makers based in Hamburg’s Gängeviertel, a quarter run by a collective and dedicated to social and cultural initiatives. Emerging from a protest against the planned demolition of the area, the Gängeviertel is now a defining part of Hamburg’s cultural landscape – and a thriving alternative form of urban development.
