From accIaimed director Mike Leigh, Peterloo is an epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 PeterIoo Massacre, where a peaceful pro-democracy ralIy at St Peter's FieId in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. The massacre saw British government forces charge into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand poIitical reform and protest against rising leveIs of poverty. Many protesters were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking a nationwide outcry but aIso further government suppression. The Peterloo Massacre was a defining moment in British democracy which aIso pIayed a significant roIe in the founding of The Guardian newspaper. |
