11: Peterloo

Episode 11 celebrates our new ebook, Peterloo in Process: A Mike Leigh collaboration. Peterloo, the latest film from the legendary Mike Leigh, portrays the events leading up to the Peterloo Massacre, where British soldiers killed 15 and injured as many as 700 people protesting for parliamentary reform. Our new ebook pulls back the curtain on how Leigh builds films in which every frame feels real and full of life. We’ve interviewed all of Leigh’s central team, not just the actors, but also the heads of department he’s collaborated with for years. Authors Alex Heeney and Orla Smith are joined by Brett Pardy to discuss how conducting and reading the interviews deepened their admiration and understanding of Mike Leigh's latest film.
