The true story of Richard Oastler who, while campaigning for the abolition of slavery, realses the truth of its growing acceptance; child slaves are now the necessary evil to fuel the furnace of the burgeoning British empire.
Oastler dares to attempt to subvert the factory sytem and
Speak out against the masters for the millions of families forced
To enslave their own children to survive.
But what seems like a simple humanitarian case, becomes a political Battle that endangers oastlers life, the industrial revolution and
the fate of an empire.
