NEW FILM TELLS SHOCKING STORY OF HOW THE ESTABLISHMENT CRUSHED A POLITICAL MOVEMENT
Sunday 15 Jan BERLIN: Thousands from across Europe have watched the world premiere of a shocking film about how the establishment crushed the Jeremy Corbyn Labour leadership.
The sell-out screening was held a day after the 28th International Rosa Luxemburg Conference, attended by over 3000 people, at which the film “Oh Jeremy Corbyn – The Big Lie” was launched.
The documentary feature film tells the story of the rise and fall of the Corbyn movement, including the critical role of the mainstream media and false smears of antisemitism.
Jackie Walker, who addressed the conference, said: “This film shows the closest the left in any European country has come to gaining real political power. But, importantly, it spotlights the mistakes the left made — because we must learn from those mistakes.”
Walker, former vice chair of Momentum, who is now one of the presenters of the Red Line TV Zoom show, believes the movement which supported Corbyn could be revived at any time.
She said: “Our hopes of political change were dashed in 2019 — but many people were radicalised by the events of that time and those people will be the best recruits for a new grassroots movement which the establishment will find much harder to derail.”
The film, produced by award winning film-maker Platform Films, will get its first UK screening on Thursday 9 February in the Conway Hall in central London.
The film’s producer, Norman Thomas, said: “It hasn’t been easy to get a venue to screen the film — to put it mildly. It’s a subject that remains totally out of bounds as far as the mainstream media is concerned and many people are scared to screen it in case they get accused of being antisemitic.”
Thomas added: “This film is about a disgraceful chapter in British politics history, a huge injustice done to Jeremy and so many ordinary people who have been falsely smeared. But I hope we have now made an important step in the path to get the truth out there.”
The first UK screening of “Oh Jeremy Corbyn – The Big Lie” will be at 7pm at the Conway Hall in London on Thursday 9 February. Tickets are £10 — for more details: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/film-screening-oh-jeremy-corbyn-the-big-lie-tickets-511919975427
