Churchill and the Fascist Plot

The cloak-and-dagger story of how Churchill and MI5 hunted down Britain's fascist sympathisers, who threatened to undermine the war effort.
In May 1940, Britain was in great peril. New Prime Minister Winston Churchill was facing a Nazi invasion and the threat of Britain's own fascist sympathisers, the 'fifth column'. Within days, MI5 swooped on addresses in London. The targets were members of The Right Club, a pro-Nazi group led by an aristocrat in Churchill's own party, Archibald Ramsay. On stumbling across documents that could discredit Churchill and prevent America from entering the war, The Right Club thought they'd hit the jackpot. They didn't realize it was a trap set by the genius spymaster Maxwell Knight. This film brilliantly highlights a decisive but little-known episode in British history. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)
