Take Me to Pitcairn

Britain Julian McDonnell attempts to visit one of the most infamous fugitive islands in British naval history - the 1790 tale of Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty. Julian discovers he is not alone in his quest to reach one of the most remote islands on the planet. He met Captain Nuts who set off to re-create Captain Bligh's voyage after the mutiny, but Julian set off to follow in the footsteps of the mutineers. Soon history was repeating itself. 50 people live on this island today, all descendents of the British mutineer sailors (and their Tahitian wives) who ran away after hijacking The Bounty. LOL moments. I want more Julian McDonnell Films. 56m

First i have been a member for over 6 years with over 100 reviews so i am not one of those fake accounts created just to give ten stars to a movie he is involved in.

This documentary is super exciting, super fun and funny; and full of mystery and unexpected things; it is thrilling as if you were there during the whole trip.

Really really entertaining and original, 10/10.

I stumbled across this entirely by accident while looking for Pasifika health documentaries, and I'm glad I did! Admittedly I had no previous knowledge of Pitcairn Island other than a Mel Gibson movie about the Bounty, but with this little gem of a film I was hooked within minutes, and watched intently until the end.

The array of characters are charming, and I became so invested in whether or not they achieved their various goals of safely reaching Pitcairn, meeting the locals, taking part in island festivities, and even who would make it back to civilization unscathed.

I'd pay good money to see this intrepid documentary-maker braving the pitfalls of dodgy sail boats and lively locals on other Pacific Islands. Perhaps a visit to the highlands of Fiji and the wilds of Rapanui might be next?
