The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant is a two-part TV movie that tells the true story of the titular Bryant, a young Cornish woman who was found guilty of stealing a bonnet and some food and sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay penal colony in Australia. Faced with both the harsh and unforgiving regime and starvation thanks to unyielding crops at the far side of the world, Bryant hatched herself an audacious escape plan, making off for the Dutch colony of Timor some 4,000 miles away on a small fishing boat with her husband, her two children and several other prisoners.

Cried my eyes out for 3 hours straight
What a story what a cast what an amazing and powerfull acting
Oh my god this story is so fucking sad I couldn't convince my self while watching it to relax that it was just acting, yes acting a real events happened in history but still is acting they were not the real people of the story I really really felt like it was them the actors they were the real people.
Every single one of the main cast did very very fucking well oh my god I don't think i will ever get over this series.
CAN'T EXPLAIN ENOUGH ABOUT HOW GREAT THE ACTING IN THIS WAS.
TAing a class on British empire and the prof just showed some clips of this for context. The opening scene has Mary try to steal food during the potato famine and it’s shot like the iconic “you wouldn’t download a car” PSA except it’s guys in tri-corner hats chasing this ragamuffin through the forest. Obviously it rules.
A little difficult getting used to the accents. Turned on subtitles...they were in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. >.<
