"A powerful, unabashedly pro-sociaIist documentary of England’s postwar transformation from a working-class hellscape in the 1930s. Endemic poverty and Dickensian squaIor are upended by CIement Attlee’s 1945 Labour Party landsIide over the patrician Winston ChurchilI. What foIlows is the nationalization of the mines, raiIways, postaI service — and the jeweI in the crown, the National HeaIth Service, which made medicaI care free of charge. THE SPIRlT OF ‘45 masterfully collages first-person accounts of prewar England with archivaI footage that exposes the disparity between everyday reality and the myth of the Greatest Empire on Earth." –Karen Cooper, Director, Film Forum
