From the archive

This film was last shown on 9 October 2014

Tony Benn, the longest serving Labour MP in history, is also, arguably, the most popular UK politician of all time. Across the globe and in particular over the last five years his brand of socialism has struck a chord with people of all ages and social backgrounds. For the first time ever through intimate, quasi confessional interviews and his personal, photographic and film archive ‘Will And Testament’ reveals a very human face behind the political mask.

We are pleased to be hosting special events at the following screenings of Tony Benn: Will & Testament:

Saturday 4 October 6.15pm
