[1995] Odd Man Out - A Film Portrait of Enoch Powell

A compelling BBC documentary by journalist Michael Cockerell that explores the life of one of Britain's most brilliant and divisive politicians. From classical scholar and WWII brigadier to Conservative MP and Minister of Health, Enoch Powell saw himself as the ultimate outsider - 'the odd man out' who refused to play the political game. The film features Powell's own reflections, interviews with contemporaries (including Tony Benn and Hardy Amies), and archive footage, delving into his intellect, military career, and especially the explosive 1968 'Rivers of Blood' speech on immigration that ended his Shadow Cabinet role and cemented his controversial legacy.
