The Killing$ of Tony Blair (15)
Directed by Sanne Van Den Burgh, Daniel Turi and Greg Ward
4/5
AFTER the Chilcot report, which showed “Teflon Tony” riding once more into the breach and unrepentant about his decision to go to war in Iraq, comes this sobering documentary outlining his deadly, far-reaching legacy and the financial greed of Tony Blair Inc.
Co-written, produced and presented by George Galloway, this crowd-funded film investigates the three killings of Tony Blair — those of the Labour Party, the hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed in Iraq during and after the war and the huge financial killing that he has made as a public speaker and a political consultant after leaving office — dubbed the Blair Rich Project by Galloway.
