Oh, Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie
Directed by Chris Reeves
“SENIOR officials in headquarters were actively working against Labour” states award-winning film-maker Ken Loach in this gripping documentary that explores the remarkable rise and fall of Jeremy Corbyn due to forces within his own party.
Narrated by Alexei Sayle and directed, shot and edited by Chris Reeves and written by Norman Thomas, the film examines how and why Corbyn went from coming so close to becoming prime minister in 2017 to abject failure two years later when the Tories won by a landslide under Boris Johnson.
