A magnificent depiction of the events surrounding the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, when a peaceful demonstration for increased democracy at St. Peter's Field in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest incidents in British history.
British government forces charged head-on into the 60,000 people who had gathered to demand political reform and protest against rising poverty. Many demonstrators were killed and hundreds were injured, sparking a national outcry but also increased repression by those in power.
