Synopsis

"Peterloo" follows a band of protestors who stood up for parliamentary reform, calling for a greater range of voting rights in the wake of economic strife and famine at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. A demonstration organized by Manchester Patriotic Union reportedly had an attendance in excess of 60,000, and the British calvary ultimately charged the peacefully protesting crowd.
