A profile of the former prime minister, in which director Michael Waldman charts his meteoric rise to become one of the world's most powerful leaders, through interviews with Blair, his wife Cherie and their children, as well as former colleagues and opponents. Blair begins by revealing the early traumas that drove him into politics and how, after repeatedly failing to get selected as a candidate for Parliament, he won the very last seat left in the country.

The former prime minister discusses his second election victory, after which he built a close relationship with President George Bush. When terrorists struck the US on 9/11, he took a leading role in building support for the US-led war in Afghanistan. But when President Bush decided he wanted to get rid of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the PM had a decision to make. He talks to director Michael Waldman about the decision to go to war in Iraq, which many see as his greatest mistake.

Weakened by the Iraq War, Tony Blair battles to a third successive election victory. Fighting to make a difference in the time that he has left in office, he instigates global changes to world poverty and deals with a major domestic terror attack. In a high-stakes political drama, Blair is forced out by his own party and replaced by his oldest ally, Gordon Brown. Out of power, he seeks to build a new legacy while defending his time in No10. Criticised for making money from authoritarian regimes, while much of what he stood for is dismantled at home and abroad, still he pushes on, building a new organisation, and wielding some influence across the world in new ways.
