Summary:

Based on a powerful true story, The Mill is a drama set in England in 1833, a time when industry is sweeping children as young as nine into the factories and mills to work 12-hour days. Injustice and suppression are the norm, but the world is changing and one feisty young girl takes a stand against the mill owners and their lackeys who rule the children's tired and hungry lives. Inside, Robert Greg (Jamie Draven), the mill owner's son, is taking over the business and modernising ruthlessly, while outside, civil disobedience is on the rise. Times are changing for better or worse and the balance of power is about to fall into the hands of a young girl called Esther Price (Kerrie Hayes).
