Description

A seven minute interview with Tony Benn MP at Manchester's Free Trade Hall on Peter St in the City Centre. He talks about a number of issues including how social issues are transformed into law and order ones, the negative influence of the media, BBC as an agent of the government, unemployment, divisions being generated between people as a process of divide and rule - men and women, black and white, north from south. Very much about how we are not being told the whole truth. Then there are shots of him sitting on the steps of the Free Trade Hall speaking to some young people while he waits for his taxi. Also footage around the Free Trade Hall and also of Queen Victoria's statue in Piccadilly Gardens.

[Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011]
