Comrades

A poignant and powerful portrait of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, "Comrades" (1986) tells the true story of 19th-century English farm labourers who dared to challenge their working conditions by forming one of the first trade unions. Against a backdrop of deportation and hardship, this historical drama shines a light on the courage and resilience of its subjects as they fought for fair wages in the face of oppressive authority.
