Oh Jeremy Corbyn: the big lie

Oh Jeremy Corbyn: the big lie is a 2023 documentary film about the former British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Synopsis
According to Morning Star, the film documents Jeremy Corbyn's time as the leader of the Labour Party, internal struggles in the party, and accusations of anti-semitism. The film presents events as a conspiracy against Corbyn and the anti-semitism allegations as inaccurate. It accuses Keir Starmer of campaigning against Corbyn while serving in his shadow cabinet.

Production and screenings
The film was produced by Platform Films and released in February 2023. It premiered in the UK on 9 February 2023. It was directed by Chris Reeves and produced by Norman Thomas. Alexei Sayle narrated, whilst Graham Bash, Moshe Machover, Chris Williamson, David Miller, Andrew Murray and Jackie Walker contributed to the documentary.

A planned screening of the film on 25 June at Glastonbury Festival 2023 was cancelled by festival organisers, following a complaint from Marie van der Zyl of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Van der Zyl stated that the film promoted hatred and falsely accused the Board of Deputies of being involved in a conspiracy against Jeremy Corbyn. The Jewish Chronicle reported that Norman Thomas rejected the antisemitics accusations. After the cancellation a group known as the Activist Video Collective claimed to have shown the film at the Speakers Forum tent during the festival.

Portsmouth Film Society scheduled two screenings of the film in August 2023.

Critical reception
Author Rachel Shabi, noting that the film attributes all complaints of antisemitism in the UK Labour Party to Israeli interference in British politics, wrote that the "film does make central an argument based on antisemitic conspiracy layered upon conspiracy." Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi of Jewish Voice for Labour has written that a film which has been widely vilified and even banned deserves to be seen, heard and discussed."
