The Killing$ of Tony Blair

The Killing$ of Tony Blair[5] is a documentary film presented and narrated by George Galloway (who also produced) and co-directed by Sanne van den Bergh and Greg Ward.

In August 2013, Galloway announced his intention to make a documentary film under the original title of The Killing of Tony Blair to be financed by on-line public subscription raised via the crowdfunding site Kickstarter.

[6] With a title chosen for "shock value", the film concerns Blair's alleged destruction of the Labour Party, the hundreds of thousands of civilians who died during the Iraq War, and the former Prime Minister's well-remunerated business interests and relationship with the bank JP Morgan and Middle East dictators since he left office in 2007; in Galloway's view, a third "killing".

[6] In the Kickstarter promotional video, Galloway expressed the hope that his actions would lead to pressure on Blair, stating: "It will take him all [the way] to The Hague, to a war crimes trial and to the slamming of a cell door shut behind him.

[14] Allan Hunter, of the Daily Express, called the film "a partisan documentary in which Galloway provides an entertaining commentary on the many sins of the former prime minister", before concluding that "all the accusations may be familiar but the cumulative effect is depressing in the extreme".
