The Notion Of Political Protest And The Pursuit Of Legal Rights In Movies And Documentaries: Surveying The Chartists’ Campaigns, 1838-1848

Abstract
The realization of individuals’ political and social aspirations has gone through a long haul and painful experiences that ranged from strikes and stoppage to mass manifestations and street marches. Chartism, as a political wave of change that pinned new hopes on political campaigns, is no exception. The concern of this paper is to revisit the value of Chartism in realizing the workers’ legal and social liberties after being blamed of inefficiency and sabotage. In most of the literature as well as movies on Labour Movement in Britain, Chartism is written off. The Chartists were blamed of political agitation, economic stagnation and other seditious events. Accordingly, this attempt is indented to survey the accounts of those activists, mainly between 1838 and 1848, to reveal the changes or rather the reforms they could bring in and thus contribute to the making of welfare in Britain via political means. It is significant in the sense that it has shown that labour movement readers should be reluctant to view waves of change as ineffective political protests to harm more than to remedy the defects of the day.
