This week, we discuss two historical dramas about political resistance.

The first is Peterloo (2018), which tells the harrowing story of the 1819 massacre in Manchester, where peaceful protesters were met with deadly force while demanding political reform.

The second is The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006), which follows two brothers caught on opposite sides of Ireland’s fight for independence and the ensuing civil war.
