Ghosts of the Empire: The Legacy of British Colonialism
This documentary examines the long, complicated legacy of the British Empire through three surviving relics of its rule.

It is a thoughtful watch for anyone interested in British history, colonialism, and the ghosts empire left behind. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
