The Great Experiment

The Great Experiment

Work:: The Great Experiment (S1350672361)

Slavery may have been abolished in 1833, but in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries over 2 million Indian migrant labourers were indentured to work in plantations around the world. The workers boarded ships that would take them thousands of miles from home in search of ?a better life', while the abolitionists, and Indian nationalists, called this a ?new system of slavery' and the 'international shame of the Indian'. The roots of our Mauritian, Asian-Caribbean, Malaysian & Asian-African communities are all buried in this history, known as THE GREAT EXPERIMENT.

Production:: (T0910921226)

Join them as together they question who has the right to tell a story and who has the right to be heard.
