Food for Ravens is a 1997 British historical drama film directed and written by Trevor Griffiths[1]. The film depicts the life of Aneurin Bevan as he reflects on his life on his deathbed. The film also stars Sinead Cusack. Nye Bevan was Health and Housing Secretary in the government of Prime Minister Clement Attlee elected in 1945. He was the principal architect of the British National Health Service. The film covers periods in his life from his working class upbringing to government minister.
There was some controversy over the production and scheduling of the film. It was rejected BBC nationally and was made instead by BBC Wales and was only to be screened in Wales on the centenary of Bevan's birth. Given Bevan's role in founding the NHS, it drew controversy that it wasn't going to be screen nationally.[2]. It was eventually scheduled for 11.15pm on a Sunday. BBC Two Controller Mark Thompson apologised for the handling of the film production and scheduling. [3]
