While i share your sentiment and I agree about how important Loach is as a filmmaker and his penchant for hard hitting docu-style movies based on real life, the sad truth is such movies will never perform well at the cinema.
And cinemas are a business. Never forget that. As important as this story is, the movie will never fill cinemas.
In fact considering the dire quality of most mainstream movies these days and the willingness of the public to watch any old rubbish, the fact that Loach' movies get any sort of release at all is probably a miracle.
In truth they are probably more at home on other forms of media than a cinema release.
