A young student, Flea, played by Sophie Jenkin, discovers the 1942 Beveridge report – and its comprehensive vision for a better society. We follow Flea’s fantastical journey as it takes her amongst Beveridge’s Five Giants – Want, Disease, Squalor, Idleness, and Ignorance and the whirl of politicians, ineffective policies and missed opportunities across the decades since 1942. Based on texts and speeches by Beveridge and politicians, the film is a moving account of Beveridge’s vision, the desperate need for it today and a passionate call for action. Following the screening, producer and editor of the film Olivier Stockman will discuss the making of The Man with The Plan, from its development and production to its message as a call to action. "an urgent film for our desperate times…a full-blown exposition on why if we had done what Beveridge advocated we might be in a better place today…an important aid in our fight against poverty's predominance." - John Bird, The Big Issue "This is activist cinema, unabashed by its clear vision." Victor Fragar, Dirty Movies
