Spirit of 45: Free Screening

This free screening of Ken Loach's new documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with local people and those featured in the film. The doc is a rousing and saddening film which reminds us of the air of progress and reconstruction that took hold in British politics immediately after World War II. It takes viewers back to the founding of the welfare state and, with it, the nationalisation of the health service, transport, energy, housing and other areas of public life, as initiated by Clement Attlee’s 1945-1951 Labour government. The screening is free, but you need to book a place at spiritof45leytonstone.eventbrite.co.uk.
