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. From a once-grand naval hospital to a distant island territory, it traces how empire still shapes lives today. The film weighs pride and pain in equal measure, resisting a single verdict on the past. 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.
