He has no father and lives with his mother and a delinquent older brother. He constantly fights with his older brother, and he doesn't have many friends at school. His family is poor, and he works part-time delivering newspapers in the morning. With nowhere to belong, Billy discovers a hawk's nest in the ruins of a monastery on the outskirts of town one day. He takes a chick from the nest, names it "Kes," and begins to raise it, and gradually, a relationship of trust develops between Billy and Kes. ■STAFF Director: Ken Loach Original Work: Barry Hines Screenplay: Ken Loach, Barry Hines Producer/Screenplay: Tony Garnett ■CAST David Bradley Lynne Perrie Colin Welland Freddie Fletcher Blu-ray | 1969 | UK Production | Color | Main Feature 111 minutes | English Audio | Single Layer | 16:9 Vista | Region A
