Want to help Pitcairn?

# I watched the 1933 film ' In the Wake of the Bounty' today. It stars Errol Flynn as Fletcher Christian and goes through the details of the mutiny. Following that it has a documentary of Charles Chauvel and his wife visiting Pitcairn Island. That was definitely the best part of the movie. There are many scenes of Pitcairn and its people from that time. I even got to see a shot of my great grandfather, Roy Clark. It's amazing to see so many people living on the island, and so many kids! A great look into the life of the island from the thirties.
# 21st-century colonialism: Mutiny on 'Bounty' Island.
But beneath Norfolk's serene exterior, rebellion is stirring. The island was settled by descendants of the Bounty mutineers in 1856, and has a tradition of resisting political interference. Now it faces a fate that some locals regard as catastrophic: takeover by Australia.
