Most literate people are aware that there was a revolution in Seventeenth-century England, even if they call it a "civil war" or identify it in terms of Oliver Cromwell. Many people have heard of the various religious and political sects which flourished in that time, under such unlikely names as "Ranters", "Levellers", "Fifth Monarchists", "Muggletonians", and -- perhaps most notably, the "Diggers". But how many actually know anything about those brave, literate, and uncompromising early communists led by the redoubtableGerard Winstanley? Thier story is important, not merely for British history, but for the history of human liberation. Yet realistically, few people can or will read the various fine scholarly works on the subject, or Winstanley's own pasionate writings, most notably THE NEW LAW OF RIGHETEOUSNESS. Failing that, this film is a splendid introduction, not to mention being a fascinating piece of film-art in its own right. The film proper is supplemented in this tape by a documentary of the production of the feature. My only complaint about this film is that there isn't enough of it, or thatmore people haven't had the opportunity to see it. ( )
