Death or Liberty

2015 - Completed

200 years ago the British Government banishes thousands of its political radicals to a prison without walls at the very end of the known world. From England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Canada they are transported in shackles to New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land but their acts of protest and rebellion help build one of the most robust democracies of the modern age. Revered in their homelands as heroic martyrs, their convict lives are an amazing untold story – until now.
