FILM: The Man with the Plan, followed by Q&A

Sands Films presents
The Man with the Plan
A young person discovers the Beveridge Report: she questions…What happened? What is next?
A young student, Flea, played by Sophie Jenkin, discovers the 1942 Beveridge report – and its comprehensive vision for a better society. We follow Flea’s fantastical journey as it takes her amongst Beveridge’s Five Giants – Want, Disease, Squalor, Idleness, and Ignorance and the whirl of politicians, ineffective policies and missed opportunities across the decades since 1942.
Based on texts and speeches by Beveridge and politicians, the film is a moving account of Beveridge’s vision, the desperate need for it today and a passionate call for action.

Starring Simon Callow as William Beveridge,
with Sophie Jenkin, Mark Thomas, Alan Cox, Neil Gore, Neil D'Souza,
Andrew Tiernan, Hal Cruttenden, Michael Mears
and the voice of Miriam Margolyes.
Also, with the appearance of Sir Michael Marmot, Kate Pickett, Danny Dorling and other academics, campaigners and activists.

"an urgent film for our desperate times…a full-blown exposition on why if we had done what Beveridge advocated we might be in a better place today…an important aid in our fight against poverty's predominance." - John Bird, The Big Issue
