Great English Revolutionary Pamphleter and Digger
Gerrard Winstanley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrard_Winstanley)

If you’re raised in Britain, it’s more likely than not that you have heard of the English Civil War, fought between King Charles I and Oliver Cromwell*. But since Cromwell’s money-grubbing class won, and stamped its skewed perspective on our history, it’s much less likely that you’re aware of the English Revolution, and our home-grown revolutionaries known as Levellers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levellers), Ranters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranter), and Diggers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggers) – who are actually way more important and tremendously more inspiring than the entire officer class of Cromwell’s New Model Army and the nouveau riche money men paymasters to whom they owed their allegiance. The film Winstanley (1976) (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0073911/) aims to redress the historical disservice done to the Diggers, their commune on St George's Hill, Weybridge in Surrey, and their leading pamphleteer Gerrard Winstanley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrard_Winstanley) – and it may inspire YOU to join in the C21 revolutionary struggles of our generation, to help complete the farsighted political programme envisioned by Winstanley and the Diggers, begun in 1649 and yet to be completed.
18:55 Sunset
19:45-20:00 – “Gerrard Who, Now?” (an introduction)
20:00-21:32 – ‘Winstanley’, the film showing
21:32-21:45 – Refreshment / Comfort Break
21:45-22:30+ – Winstanley open forum: discussion, readings, inspiration
22:30-23:18 – Optional: ‘It Happened Here Again’, the Making of... documentary
We’d planned to show Winstanley last Sunday, but evil Cromwellian gremlins thwarted our desires, and instead we chose to watch The Battle of Algiers (1966), as covered at Indymedia London:
