From the Wiki:



This deals with some of the life story of the 17th Century social

reformer and writer Gerrard Winstanley, who, along with a small band of

followers known as the Diggers tried to establish a self-sufficient

farming community on common land at St. George's Hill near Cobham,

Surrey. This was one of the world's first socialistic living experiments

which was copied elsewhere in England during the time of the

Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, but was quickly suppressed and in the

end left only a legacy of ideas to inspire later generations of

socialist theorists.

Great efforts were made to produce a film of high historical accuracy.

Armour used was actual armour from the 1640s, borrowed from the Tower of

London.
