This film is inspired by Engels’ book written in 1844, The Condition of the Working Class in England. How much has really changed since then? In 2012 a group of working class people from Manchester and Salford come together to create a theatrical show from scratch based on their own experiences and Engels’ book.

September 11th 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the 1973 military coup that replaced Chile’s democratically-elected socialist government led by President Salvador Allende with the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. During the violent takeover, Pinochet’s US-backed military heavily bombed the capital city of Santiago and installed a junta that controlled Chile until 1990.
