This visit to Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific Ocean shows that life for the residents has changed little in the years since Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers on HMS Bounty, along with several Tahitian natives, landed here. The island is self-sufficient and has few visitors. Among the islanders we see at work is Fletcher Christian's great-grandson.

Pitcairn - a little slice of paradise. The tiny island settled by Fletcher Christian and the other mutineers from HMS Bounty. But in 2004 the British Pacific colony of Pitcairn - population 47 - won a notoriety that eclipsed its romantic past. A five year police investigation revealed a long history of shocking child sex abuse. The island was at the centre of world press attention - except that it's almost impossible to get there (the rocky island has no run-way, no roads no cars, no TV). The trial of the accused men - held in the village hall - divided opinion. How can the standards of normal life be applied to such a bizarre, remote community? But then again why should the daughters of the islanders not be protected? This remarkable film is a one-off. No other TV crew or journalists were allowed on the island. The twist is extraordinary. The men are jailed in a prison they must themselves build.
