The right wing media in Britain reacted with predictable fury at
Loach’s treatment of the Irish war of independence in his prize winning film ,The Wind That Shakes The Barley .The Times compared Loach unfavourably to Hitler’s favourite director, Leni Riefenstahl ;the liberal press - again predictably- took the view that the film was one-sided in its anti-British stance .
In this Guardian interview Loach defends his film from liberal and tory critics alike .
