Peterloo Visitor Film for Visit Manchester and Manchester Histories, presented by actor Neil Bell

Neil Bell, star of Mike Leigh’s historic political protest drama, Peterloo, presents a new film encouraging people to visit the city of Manchester and learn more about the landmark story for themselves.
Neil, who played radical reformer Samuel Bamford in Peterloo, guides viewers through the history of the Peterloo Massacre, exploring locations in Manchester where visitors can discover more about the history of the tragic events that unfolded on 16 August 1819.
Commissioned jointly by Marketing Manchester and Manchester Histories, the film forms part of a city-wide series of events marking the 200th anniversary of Peterloo.
