The Featherstone Massacre

A forgotten history. A silenced voice. A story that still echoes.

Produced and directed by Instant Karma, this documentary revisits the Featherstone Massacre — a pivotal moment in British working-class history that has long been overlooked.

Set in the heart of Yorkshire, the film uncovers the human stories behind the headlines.
Ordinary people.
Extraordinary pressure.
Lives shaped by conflict, power, and survival.

The Film

Through rare archival material, lived perspective, and a strong sense of place, the story is brought back into focus — not as distant history, but as something immediate and deeply human.

This is not just a retelling.

It’s a reclamation.

Themes

Class.
Community.
Injustice.
Resilience.

A reflection on the cost of progress — and the voices too often left behind.

Why It Matters

The Featherstone Massacre is more than a historical event.

It’s a reminder.

Of who gets remembered.
And who doesn’t.
