The Big Lie II: Starmer and the Genocide' explores the impact of the Gaza conflict on British politics. It examines what lies behind the pro-Israel stance of the Labour Party under leader Keir Starmer, and documents the demonstrations, protests and direct actions which aim to end the complicity of the British establishment in genocide, and join the worldwide movement for peace and justice. The reaction to what’s happening in Palestine has been unparalleled in this country and throughout the world— the huge marches, protests, and direct actions have been massive. But at the same time, they have been outrageously minimised and misrepresented in the mainstream media.

She was loved, she was a princess, heir to the throne - but the childhood fairytale turned to lifelong nightmare for Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's first child. When Henry divorced her mother and married Anne Boleyn, Mary became an outcast and a threat to the Protestant succession. By a twist of fate, on the death of her brother, she became queen at last in 1553, but her attempts to make England Catholic again were a disaster for her and the country. History has called her "Bloody Mary" for the burning of the Protestants, but how fair is this? This film paints another picture, of a woman true to her beliefs, pushed towards a terrible psychological disintegration.
