在大英帝国繁盛期间,它窃取了数不尽的物品,现如今,这些物品被存放在了英国和全世界的博物馆等机构中。这些物件表面看起来是那么的光鲜亮丽,但本纪录片将会揭露其美丽外表下的黑暗历史。
在大英帝国统治期间,它偷了很多东西。如今,这些文物被收藏在英国和世界各地的高雅机构中。它们通常带有礼貌的牌匾。这是一个关于这些物品背后不那么礼貌的历史的系列。每一集,获奖的记者、作家和遗传家常马克·芬内尔(Marc Fennell)都会挑选一件人工制品,带你经历一场狂野的、令人回味的、有时有趣的、通常是悲剧的冒险,讲述它是如何发展到今天的地步的。这些物品最终将帮助我们以不同的眼光看待今天的英联邦——以及我们自己。
Throughout its reign, the British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Today those objects are housed in genteel institutions across the UK and the world. They usually come with polite plaques. This is a series about the not-so-polite history behind those objects.
Each episode, award-winning journalist, author and genetic-potluck, Marc Fennell, picks one artefact and takes you on the wild, evocative, sometimes funny, often tragic adventure of how it got to where it is today.
These objects will ultimately help us see the Commonwealth — and ourselves — today, in a different light.
