World Premier in November for "The Rochdale Pioneers"

"The Rochdale Pioneers"  has its World Premier on 1st November in Manchester.  However for those of you who cannot make this premier, do not despair.  You will have your chance to view this wonderful period drama as Film4 will be showing it throughout the month of November as part of their "British Connection" season.

This is a wonderfully crafted story set in the early 1840's.  It tells the tale of the men (and women) behind the creation of the first Co-operative shop in Rochdale.  They were the founders of the entire Co-operative movement and theirs is a story well worth watching.

Here is the trailer - enjoy :-)
