Review of The Spirit of '45 (2013) by Dave C — 02 Mar 2014

Interesting, thought provoking and timely look at how and why the welfare state and nationalisation of major industries took shape and how and why they have been undone over the last 35 years and at what cost.

While I was watching it occurred to me that if there was 30+ years between WW2 and Thatcher, time enough for people to forget what it was like before, there has now been just as long since Thatcher came to power.

This isn't on a list of the most essential films in history but is a very good film to watch and consider where the world sits today.
