A Very British Coup
(Britain, 1988, 153 minutes, discussion to follow)

This political conspiracy thriller, adapted from M.P. Chris Mullin's 
novel, is centred on Harry Perkins, a third-generation socialist who is 
elected Prime Minister of Great Britain. Perkins sends shockwaves 
through the government, both at home and abroad, by working for nuclear 
disarmament, open government, and other radical policy changes. US 
interests combine with the British ruling class "old boys network" to 
try and defeat Perkins with behind-the-scenes tools like spies, 
tabloids, and tapes, to accomplish a very British coup. He is soon 
fighting to stay in power against the combined might of the press, the 
Civil Service and the Americans.

Sponsored by Young Communist League (YCL), Centre for Socialist 
Education, Vancouver East Club (Communist Party of Canada). Donations 
welcome, refreshments will be available, call 255-2041.
