Empire with David Olusoga
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
The historian reveals how the movement of people around the Empire - both voluntary and involuntary - continues to shape the world we live in today. The great migrations of the last 300 years were driven by the British Empire, and enslaved Africans were trafficked across the Atlantic to British colonies. Indians who signed up to the indenture system were sent to work in the Caribbean, Africa and south-east India, and convicts from Britain and Ireland were dispatched to the new territory of Australia
Empire with David Olusoga airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 11:00 PM, Friday 14 November. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
