Churchill understood the power of films, but the true extent of his use of cinema as a propaganda tool is rarely explored. When war broke out, this tool became of national importance.

Irish Independent

The best history documentaries are often those that skip the big pages and mine the footnotes for material. John Fleet's excellent hour-long film struck gold with the overlooked relationship between [Winston] Churchill and Alexander Korda.

Rated: 4/5
