About us
Dir. Adam Lee Hamilton, John Montegrande, UK, 2012, 57 mins.Cast. John Henshaw, Andrew London, Jordan Dawes.
Based on a true story of hope, determination and principles, The Rochdale Pioneers is about a group of working men who, against a backdrop of poverty, prejudices and harsh working conditions, set about changing the unfair society that they lived in. Opening their own store - in Toad Lane, Rochdale on 21 December 1844 - and pledging to sell quality, unadulterated products and share the profits fairly with their customers, they laid down values and principles that became the basis for how co-operatives worldwide still operate to this day - principles that are still changing the world almost 170 years later.
Plymouth City Council wants to double the size of the co-operative economy in the city by 2025. We are planning a series of films over the next 12 months to raise awareness of the great work that co-operatives do. We are working in collaboration with PCC to present this series.
