Jarrow March: How 200 Men Walked 300 Miles to Save a Dying Town | Pulse of History

#JarrowMarch #BritishHistory #PulseOfHistoryTV

In 1936, the town of Jarrow in northeast England was on the brink of collapse.
Unemployment soared. Shipyards shut down. Families faced hunger.
In a powerful act of peaceful protest, 200 men marched nearly 300 miles to London — not for revolution, but for the right to work.

This documentary brings history to life through AI-restored and animated historical photographs — giving a human face to one of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, movements in British working-class history.

Follow the journey from Jarrow to London, through rain-soaked roads, broken boots, and relentless determination.
Witness voices long silenced — brought back through image restoration, historical context, and immersive narration.

Whether you're a history buff, educator, student, or someone searching for stories of resilience — this film will leave a mark.
