Winstanley – Andrew Mollo & Kevin Brownlow, UK \/ 1975 \/ 95 mins \/ cert 15<\/p>\n

On 1 April 1649, Winstanley and the Diggers set out to form a commune and work the land of St George’s Hill, in an action designed to reclaim land for the poor who had been dispossessed by Cromwell’s recent English Revolution.\u00a0 Unsurprisingly in a time of great upheaval they meet much opposition, surprisingly some of it from those peasants they seek to enthuse, and their action lasts only a year, although many similar settlements occur elsewhere.\u00a0 Their story delves into issues relevant then as now – land ownership, class, power and the law, religious puritanism, and hierarchies.<\/p>\n

Authentic, exciting and dramatic, with spellbinding black and white camera-work creating a powerful visual experience. The film is rightly judged to be a classic, and is based on the book Comrade Jacob, by David Caute\u00a0 (1961), who was a former pupil of the great historian and one time communist, Christopher Hill.<\/p>\n

Watch out too for the appearance of some genuine 1970’s hippies as ranters! Enjoy.<\/p>\n

The film will be introduced by Steve Mills, a local trade union activist and Bristol radical historian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
