G-n gladston i bylgarite (2010)

A documentary about the great Victorian statesman, writer, intellectual, father of modern liberalism and four times Prime Minister of Great Britain whose political career surprisingly overlapped with, and was influenced by, the Bulgarian National Renaissance in the 19th century. This film attempts to rehabilitate Gladstone and his contribution in the eyes of modern Bulgaria, in so far as his reputation suffered undeservedly from 'collateral damage' in the years of Cold War. The story is narrated by his great grandson Sir William Gladstone, university professors from Oxford, Australia, USA, Italy, Bulgaria, descendents of participants in the 'Bulgarian horrors' (as Gladstone calls them) while the plot recreates the time, the events and the atmosphere of the 19th century using original photos and cartoons, places or what is left of them, Gladstone's diary and his original voice recording which is one the first recordings in Europe.
