MANIFESTO
Documentary 2022 Dir Daniel Draper
Over three pivotal years in UK politics, Manifesto follows activists in the safest Labour seat in the country as they campaign for change.
The feature length documentary about Walton CLP gives a first-hand account of grassroots community activism, painting an unwavering picture of the work and effort that goes into party politics away from Westminster.

Walton is the area officially hit hardest by austerity measures. Foodbanks operate in the shadow of two Premiere League football teams. It is also the former home of director Daniel Draper.
Manifesto captures the under-represented facet of party politics at a vital time in British political history. It captures the peaks and troughs of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party from the coalface. It also gives a vital voice to a working-class community on film.
