Q&A with Kevin Loader, producer of Allelujah!
Guest: Kevin Loader, film producer
Join film producer Kevin Loader (The Lady in The Van, The Personal History of David Copperfield, The Death Of Stalin) as he discusses ‘ALLELUJAH’, a warm, humorous, and sometimes dark, deeply moving story about older age.
When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse.
The film features a powerhouse cast led by Jennifer Saunders and newcomer Bally Gill, and supported by Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi, David Bradley, Russell Tovey and Julia McKenzie. ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand. The film deals with some difficult themes.
