The Island Built by Mutineers | Pitcairn

Pitcairn Island is one of the most isolated inhabited places on Earth. But its story begins with one of history’s most famous mutinies — the rebellion aboard HMS Bounty in 1789. After overthrowing their captain, the mutineers sailed across the Pacific searching for a place where they could disappear forever. They found it on Pitcairn, a tiny island hidden in the vast ocean. In this video, we explore how a group of fugitives built a new society from scratch, the conflicts that nearly destroyed it, and why the descendants of the mutineers still live there today.
