In 1844, a group of working-class individuals from Rochdale unite to challenge the unjust society they inhabit. Tired of exploitative shopkeepers selling low-quality goods at exorbitant prices, they take a bold step to create their own cooperative store. By pooling their limited resources, they manage to open a small shop, vowing to sell only high-quality, unadulterated products and share profits fairly with customers.
