The Remarkable Journey of Bernard Levin
This entertaining film is the first about Bernard Levin, a small Jewish boy who grew up in the poor backstreets of Camden Town, and his journey to become the most famous journalist of the 20th Century and a prolific broadcaster on the BBC.
For over 50 years he wrote countless influential articles and books on his great enthusiasms - music, theatre and literature, and changed journalism forever with his attacks on political corruption, injustice and the oppression of minorities.
The film has much excellent footage of Bernard with excerpts from his three award winning travel series and his appearances on TW3, including the first punch thrown on live television, plus his witty interviews with Wogan, Parkinson, Orson Welles and Robert Kennedy among others. WIth new contributions from Sir Trevor McDonald, Arianna Huffington, Sir Simon Jenkins, Matthew Parris and Michael Billington.
