Oona and Me
Documentary about ex-Labour MP Oona King, whose support for the Iraq War alienated her from her Muslim constituency and led to her defeat by George Galloway in the 2005 election.
Documentary about ex-Labour MP Oona King. Only the second black female MP and one of the most media friendly of the 'Blair Babes', her support for the Iraq War alienated her from her Muslim constituency in London's East End, and led to her defeat by George Galloway and his anti-war Respect Party in the 2005 election. King asked her childhood friend Nora Meyer to make a film about the issue but Meyer was also opposed to the war and wonders if her friend's youthful radicalism has been dulled.
