The Winds of Change | John Heffernan | Figures of Speech

John Heffernan reads Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's speech The Winds of Change, an address given to the Parliament of South Africa on 3 February 1960 in Cape Town, as the UK government began to grant independence to what were British Colonies.

Figures of Speech, a major new digital film project for 2017, will interrogate the vitality of speech to remember.

Made in collaboration with the Almeida Theatre.
