It is 1931 and Britain is straining under an ongoing financial crisis, austerity measures and a Coalition government.

But with the financial crisis deepening, co-founder and fellow Birmingham MP, John Strachey, quickly comes to question the motives of his larger-than-life friend. 

Produced and directed by Gaynor Macfarlane.
