More than forty years ago, radical director Ken Loach was hired to produce a documentary about the work of Save the Children.

Thank God then that American Reunion is here to remind us all that the golden era is alive and well. And when we say GOLDEN era, we probably mean WEEING ON YOU or something LOL cos of YELLOW and that’s how, you know, DUDE YOU KNOW IT
