The Gathering Storm

First Aired: July 2002

Film for BBC2.

In the years before World War II, Churchill found himself on the fringe of British politics: a lone voice in crying out in the wilderness as he warned his country and the world of a Nazi threat. Together with his wife, Clementine, he had to confront the personal demons of depression, and the spectre of insolvency, before he could re-emerge as a reinvigorated political leader and hero.
