2021 · 1 hr 23 mins
In this feature-length documentary, Anthony Wilks traces the connections between the events of Hobsbawm’s life and the history he told, from his teenage years in Germany as Hitler came to power and his communist membership, to the jazz clubs of 1950s Soho and the makings of New Labour, taking in Italian bandits, Peruvian peasant movements and the development of nationalism in the modern world, with help from the assiduous observations of MI5.
Director: Anthony Wilks
Cast: Eric Hobsbawm, Frances Stonor Saunders, Richard J. Evans, John Foot, Stefan Collini
