Subtitled The indictment of Anthony Charles Lynton Blair for the crime of aggression against Iraq — a Hearing.Since 1994, director Nicholas Kent and editor Richard Norton Taylor have culled evidence from transcripts of such high-profile cases as the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial and the Hutton Inquiry to create dramatised tribunals of hotly debated topics. This time it's the turn of British Prime Minister Tony Blair to come under scrutiny, though the procedure has been somewhat different and the script has been distilled from various interviews which took place earlier this year. Cross-examining witnesses (including politicians, UN officials, a Kurdish academic living in exile and a weapons inspector) the lawyers for the defence and prosecution attempt to elicit the reasons for the Attorney General's changing point of view just prior to the commencement of war, and to determine whether the PM truly believed that the threat of WMDs was only 45 minutes away. It's not an easy evening, but it's certainly an interesting and very well-acted investigation into a decision which has had far-reaching and ongoing consequences.
