Review
After the Civil War a wave of radicalism was unleashed in England, one of the most prominent groups being the Diggers, led by Gerrard Winstanley, who established a self-sufficient farming community in Surrey. This is their story. A thoroughly historically researched attempt to try and recreate the lives of a 17th Commune against a backdrop of ruling class antipathy and the cruel English weather. Very amateur, but totally magnificent in its scale and authenticity.
