The controversial documentary tells the story of the surprising rise of an MP who had warmed the again benches for 32 years to instantly turn out to be the chief of the Labour Party for 5 years. Corbyn rode a wave of recognition, earlier than all of it got here crashing down round him.

There have been a whole bunch of pro-Corbyn banners and T-shirts among the many throng the day he visited Worthy Farm. However,  six years on - and the way issues have modified... because the movie produced by award-winning radical film-maker Platform Films and narrated by comic Alexei Sayle, has been given the chop.

In an announcement, organisers stated: “Although we believe that the Pilton Palais booked this film in good faith, in the hope of provoking political debate, it’s become clear that it is not appropriate for us to screen it at the Festival.

“Glastonbury is about unity and not division, and we stand against all forms of discrimination.”

The film is alleged to discover “a dark and murky story of political deceit and outrageous antisemitic smears” and a trailer exhibits one interviewee questioning whether or not Corbyn was introduced down by an “orchestrated campaign”.

The movie, which was scheduled to be screened on Sunday on one of many minor levels, additionally options Ken Loach and former MP Chris Williamson, and is described in a press launch as thus: “In 2017, with the support of an extraordinary grassroots movement, British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn came close to becoming prime minister. 

“The establishment trembled. Britain stood on the threshold of huge political change. But within three years all, it seemed, was lost.  What happened and why?”

Several Jewish teams have criticised the film, with the Community Security Trust saying: “Jeremy Corbyn’s diehard supporters are determined to peddle the false myth that the only reason he is not the Prime Minister is that a conspiracy orchestrated by the Israeli Embassy supposedly invented a load of stories about antisemitism in the Labour Party.

“It is this claim that is a big lie, and it denies and insults the very real harassment and abuse suffered by many Jewish Labour Party members during that period, while itself reinforcing antisemitic stereotypes.”

The Board of Deputies of British Jews had written to the Glastonbury organisers, with president Marie van der Byl demanding they not present the movie: “It is profoundly sinister for your festival to be providing a platform to a film which clearly seeks to indoctrinate people into believing a conspiracy theory effectively aimed at Jewish organisations.

“We would request that you not allow your festival to be hijacked by those seeking hate with no basis of fact.”

Not everybody, although, was in favour of organisers scrapping the deliberate screening, with one individual commenting on Twitter: “The cowards at the Glastonbury Film Festival unsurprisingly capitulated to establishment pressure, led by Labour despots, and cancelled the new documentary showing how anti-Semitism accusations were cynically exploited to destroy Jeremy Corbyn. A powerful film based on facts, not conspiracy theories. They don’t want you to judge for yourselves.”
