National Portrait Gallery display withdrawn after Churchill row

The National Portrait Gallery has withdrawn a video installation featuring Winston Churchill after a row erupted over claims regarding his role in the Bengal famine of 1943. The controversy intensified when a biographer of Winston Churchill alleged that the artist responsible for the work had told a 'barefaced lie'. Consequently, the display was removed from the gallery following these disputes over the historical representation of the events and Churchill's specific involvement during the famine.
