FLJS Films opens its 2019-20 programme with acclaimed director Mike Leigh’s latest film Peterloo, which brings to light the cover-up of the state killing of protestors in Manchester 200 years ago.
On the bicentenary of the massacre, and with the current resurgence of popular demonstrations and civil disobedience over Brexit and the climate crisis, the film offers an invaluable reminder of the power of political resistance.
Historian of protest Dr Katrina Navickas will give a short introductory talk on her involvement in the historical research for Peterloo and the film’s political and contemporary resonances.
