Scotland's Sugar Slaves.
This fascinating documentary explores this neglected episode in Scottish and Irish history and unravels the mystery of these forgotten people by reconstructing the conditions which greeted the Irish when they arrived in Barbados, the horrific labour they had to perform in the sugar fields, the branding irons with which they were labeled like cattle, and how they had to build their own shelters or perish, following the redlegs' plight right up to their modern day descendants, most of whom still live in neglected impoverished conditions
