A meticulously accurate historical film set in 1649 in the poverty
and unrest left in the wake of the English Civil War. A group of
impoverished men and women, led by Gerrard Winstanley (a former
soldier and cloth merchant ruined by the war), set up a commune on
St George's Hill in Surrey, and the story follows their attempts to
live in perfect peace and harmony. Directors Kevin Brownlow and
Andrew Mollo attempted to make a completely authentic film - the
costumes were copied from originals in the Victoria and Albert
Museum, the armour was borrowed from the Tower of London Armoury,
and the script was altered when Winstanley's pamphlets were
discovered in the British Museum. The film is accompanied by an
award-winning documentary, 'It Happened Here Again', by Eric Mival,
who had previously worked with Brownlow and Mollo on 'It Happened
Here'.
