THE OLD OAK is the story of a village in the Northeast of England, where the mine closed, and people feel deserted by the system. Many young ones have left and what was once a thriving, proud community struggles to keep old values alive. But there is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope. Houses are cheap and available. This makes it an ideal location for the Syrian refugees that have been accepted by Britain in recent years. How will the Syrians be received? And what will be the future for the last remaining pub in the village, The Old Oak?

There's no actual organised dog fighting, but a pair of dogs slip off their leashes and attack and kill a smaller dog, although this is obscured by some bushes.
A small dog is chased by two much bigger dogs behind some bushes and is killed by them.

In the next scene, the owner is carrying the dog's body to be buried; you can see its back legs poking out from inside a cloth wrapping, but nothing else.

A character is seen in flashback walking into the sea to commit suicide. He is narrating this in the modern day so we know that he does not go through with it.
