The Mutiny on the Bounty is one the most infamous episodes in maritime history. Captain Bligh is renowned throughout the world as a cruel tyrant whose vicious and violent command provoked his crew to the last resort of mutiny. Fletcher Christian is remembered as a hero who saved the downtrodden crew from the hardships of Bligh’s evil leadership. For the first time ever, this film will demonstrate that a wide range of historical sources and the work of eminent historians tell a very different story. In this programme we will embark on an epic journey with a living descendant of Captain Bligh to prove that Bligh was in fact the true hero of the Bounty.
