BBC Documentaries - Kidnapped - A Georgian Adventure

Seizoen: 2011 - Aflevering: 138 / 1512 - Eerst uitgezonden: 10 augustus 2011 - Episode ID: 579855

In 1728, 12-year-old James Annesley was snatched from the streets of Dublin and sold into slavery in America - the victim of a wicked uncle hell-bent on stealing his massive inheritance. Dan Cruickshank traces James's astonishing journey from the top table of 18th century society to its murky depths. The story, which helped inspire Robert Louis Stevenson's book Kidnapped, reveals some disturbing home truths that cast a shadow over the century of the Enlightenment.
