Taking a brief look at Pitcairn Island, which became the home of the British mutineers from the Bounty and their Tahitian wives at the end of the 18th century, this short documentary – full of comments about primitive lives, brown people, half-castes, and cross breeding – is really rather depressingly condescending and casually racist.
