In the run-up to the Second World War, Churchill, now in his sixties, is out of touch on many key issues. When he warns people about Nazi Germany, they say he is wrong about that too.

This is the story of the man behind the myth. Using rarely seen footage, personal photographs… and told by those who knew him well.
