Peterloo

[Machine Translation] Nominated 7 times for Academy Award ( R ) ! Won 3 times including Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival! The latest film by master director Mike Leigh! You won't believe your eyes and ears, but it's all true! A masterpiece that you should see "now", as it is relevant to the problems that are prevalent in the world today. A historical spectacle created by talented actors and a top-notch Academy Award-nominated staff! --The Napoleonic Wars that engulfed the nations of Europe finally came to an end with the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. However, while the British were rejoicing over their victory, the economic situation was worsening and the working class people were losing their jobs and living in poverty. They had no right to vote, and everywhere discontent was exploding and protests were exploding: on August 16, 1819, a large rally was held in St. Peter's Square in Manchester, where Henry Hunt, a prominent activist, was to address the crowd. But this was supposed to be just a peaceful march to appeal for their rights. Until, that is, saber-rattling cavalry and rifle-toting troops charged into the crowd of 60,000 people. Who gave the order, when, what was the real purpose, why wasn't it stopped, and what happened to those who were maimed and killed? And what is the government's position?
