David Parker – The Enigma of Tony Benn

‘Technology evangelical’, ‘loony left leader’, ’the nation’s favourite grandfather’, Tony Benn has been labelled all three. As he retired from Parliament at the beginning of this century, David Parker made a film about him to attempt to go beyond the labels and discover the man behind headline writers’ stereotype. Marking the centenary of the birth of Tony Benn in 1925, David will talk about his long relationship with Benn and show the film ’Tony Benn’s Defining Moments’. Did the film get behind the headlines and reveal something of the man behind the political mask? You can be the judge.
