1649. With poverty and unrest sweeping England, a group of impoverished men and women form a settlement to cultivate and share the wealth of the common land but are met with crushing hostility from local landowners and government troops. With Winstanley, filmmakers Brownlow and Mollo (the creators of It Happened Here) have produced a powerful, moving story of one extraordinary man's vision. (British Film Institute (BFI))
