Now, in this feature-length documentary, the great man finally attempts to set the record straight, once and for all. Filmed in the last years of Benn's life, Will and Testament expertly examines the controversial events that shaped his long career, for both good and bad.

Drawing on both archive footage and brand-new interviews, this deeply personal and moving film gets closer than ever to understanding the real Tony Benn not just the politician but the committed family man with a big heart, forever striving to marry intellect with social conscience.
