Great Lives: Ken Loach on Gerrard Winstanley

Series 13, episode 9

Veteran British film director Ken Loach nominates the 17th-century radical pamphleteer Gerrard Winstanley. Winstanley began to dig a wasteland, calling on others - rich and poor - to join him in the digging, which he believed would start a revolution and feed the poor. His ideas were radical, communal, spiritual and deeply challenging. Presented by Matthew Parris
