- My Last Will & Testament
SYNOPSIS
- Tony Benn (86), 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 cord 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 ‘MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT’ reveals a very human face behind the political mask.
- In this feature length film, Tony Benn also criss-crosses the UK bearing witness to major social and political upheavals and events. He hopes ‘MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT’ will prove to be the defining documentary of the most globally and politically aware generation in a lifetime. This documentary is an exclusive and deeply personal look at the life of a national treasure, a frank, candid and sometimes painful exploration of the great themes of life that have affected him and affect us all, love, loss, hopes, dreams, fears and death.
- Never before has a person of his calibre and reputation spoken to camera in such a direct way.
INFORMATION
- “There's a moment in "Sicko" when Tony Benn says, "If we have the money to kill people (with war), we've got the money to help people." That line always gets the loudest applause in the theater.”
Michael Moore, Film Maker - “Tony Benn once spoke about wanting a fundamental shift in power and wealth to working people, I too want that fundamental shift.”
David Cameron, UK Prime Minister - “I think he speaks the language of all people, but the young people specifically.”
