With thanks to ROADSHOW FILMS we have 5 double passes to give away to new film THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

Coined by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the term “special relationship” has come to represent the exceptionally close political, diplomatic, cultural and historical relations between Great Britain and the United States. Some transatlantic alliances have been more potent and more personal than others, among them Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt; John F. Kennedy and Harold Macmillan; Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan; and Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. At least for a time.

THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP follows Blair’s journey from political understudy waiting in the wings of the world arena to accomplished prime minister standing confidently in the spotlight of center stage. It is a story about relationships, between two powerful men, two powerful couples, and husbands and wives.

The time is 1996, and the Blairs and the Clintons are a unique foursome – each of them an extremely bright lawyer – with a kinship forged in shared ideology and genuine affection. When world events and personal watersheds shake the very foundation of their relationship, the men and their wives must come to terms with the ephemeral nature of power and, oftentimes, friendship. As the film begins, there are many similarities between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, both center-left politicians driven by personal ambition, yet equally driven by a belief they can change the world and do a great deal of good. What starts as the formality of friendship between two national figures evolves into a genuine connection, a meeting of kindred spirits, of ideological soul mates in their domestic agendas. The world watches as the seasoned and charismatic president takes the less experienced prime minister under his political wing and shows him the proverbial ropes.

Their professional simpatico spills over into their personal lives and draws the two couples together. In early 1998 the world gasps as the White House is rocked with a scandal that will change the face of American politics. Later, the bond between Blair and Clinton is sundered over the festering crisis in Kosovo, as Blair’s call for action clashes with Clinton’s pragmatic approach. It becomes obvious that, at the heart, these are two very different men, perched on a political see-saw as their positions change, one rising as the other descends. With the eventual power shift to the incoming presidential administration, a new special relationship is about to begin. View the official website www.thespecialrelationshipmovie.com.au
