Realsed in 1969 and based on the book " A Kestrel for a knave" the film focuses on Billy Casper who has little hope in life behond becoming a Coal Miner, He gets bullied at home by his abusive half-brother Jud aswell as getting bullied at School.
Billy is a mischevous kid, Nicking from milk floats and getting into scraps at school and getting other kids at school into trouble.
He has no postive intresstes and his greatest fear is working down the pit.
This is until he finds a Kestreal who he calls Kes and takes an intrest in learnign Falconry which prompts him to steal from a used-book store because he cant get a card from libary.
as the film proggresses the relationship between Kes and Billy grows and his outlook on life becomes postive.
The film comes to an abroupt end when stuff just gets going good for Billy it all comes crashing down which for me was an emotional ending.
5/5 a great British film.
