This is a portrait of George Jacob Holyoake, the social reformer and founder of Secularism, describing his contribution to the Co-operative Movement and his connection with the workers' movement.

This volume provides a new study on the Co-operative Movement's engagement with film for educational, cultural and publicity purposes. It provides insights into the political and commercial use of cinema in the 20th century and significantly extends our understanding of the achievements of workers' cinema in Britain.
