It's a mystery to me how any one could be proud to be British or Irish. The arrogance and ignorance of the english and irish is aggravating, isn't it. The english and irish love making movies about themselves in Australia as big tough guys. But in truth. Not one english and irish person deserves a movie or note or even worthy of a statue. The english and irish in Australia are guilty of committing disgusting and immoral act's, indeed.
The amount of entitled complaints on this incredible production is sickening. Actors, costumes, lighting, editing…. Nothing is free boys and girls, be grateful you ~can~ watch this for free and if ads bother you so much than pay for the subscription, it’s that simple.
I was shocked and grossed out when I heard this story. Even after he confessed the first time, he still escaped from jail and ate another escapee, Thomas Cox, who was then a young boy, and there was plenty of food available for them. Pearce wasn’t desperate, he was a deranged addict. Having said this, this film was beautifully made. It’s crazy how this story never became infamous, like Jack the Ripper for instance. I’d never heard of this until recently.
This was a brilliantly told account from 200 years ago. If you think you could never resort to this (I don’t mean killing to survive) watch the 1993 movie Alive. I think most people nowadays will find it more relatable. In 1972 a plane carrying a rugby team crashed into the Andes mountains. The only way to survive was to eat the frozen flesh of their comrades. It’s a truly harrowing story.
Aussie band 'Weddings, Parties, Anything' has a great song about Alexander Pearce entitled; 'Its a Tale They Won't Believe'. The priest's wise words at the dinner table stole the show. Really well written and good performances by the cast... A dark tale indeed as most of Australia's convict past is.☮️ And, it's 'hanged', not hung.😶
This was quite the movie. Documentary or drama, call it what you will it was amazing. Syndicate this to other platforms, please. Father Conolly's dining table speech arresting, in the very least.
Just adjust your brightess smh. Everytime I read sone comment sections (this being one of them) I begin get a better understanding of what some womens husbands must feel like everyday lol.
You viewers all complain waaaaay too much on RUclips comments. It's almost as bad as people complaining on FB feed, smh. Want no ads from the channel? Well, did you forget how to fast forward a video? 😂 Watch the documentary! They put on a production! Let them earn money to make more.
@Fair Dinkum. Stop lecturing people, they are also entitled to their opinions, whether you agree or not. Now run off and play with your cats if you don’t want to know how others feel.
Add watch this documentary multiple times for my first time reading the writing at the beginning he was sent to that Island initially because he stole shoes oh my gosh
Easy commercial-free hack? On my cell phone, I start the vid, click the screen to start play. Slide the red dot at the bottom of the screen to the right/end of the vid, wait 5+ seconds. Slide the red dot back to the beginning of the vid, and play the vid - COMMERCIAL FREE. Now that you know the hack, please share, ok?
Will you PLEASE SUBTITLE your videos? Auto-captions are complete crap at capturing anything but an American accent. I love the content, kill the 2nd ad, and let us HEAR what they’re saying. Couldn’t even watch this one
Smh 🙄 this is a comment section not PMS support group jfc. O but I'll throw ya bone on the auto-captions, they are complete crap period they dont even English right most of the time lol
Did your subscription to RUclips premium run out ,or is it the 3 seconds of the ads you have to watch before you can skip them ? I'm genuinely curious.
🙄 JFC HOW ABSOLUTELY PETTY & INANE SMH. FAR TOO MANY OF THESE/SIMILAR COMMENTS ARE JUST REDICULOUS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN HIT SKIP ON MOST ADS & AS FOR THEIR IN-VIDEO ADD IT JUST TAKES ONE LITTLE TAP FORWARD SMH. ITS SO HIGHLY IRRATIONAL
@@danielbernier9115 ITS PATHETIC, MOST ADS YOU CAN JUST SIMPLY HIT SKIP ON & THEIR IN-VIDEO AD YOU CAN SIMPLY TAP FORWARD ON. JFC DONT SEE HOW SOME PPL MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD TODAY, ITS SO ABSOLUTELY IRRATIONAL & PETTY
Did they ever state that Van Diemen's Land is the current Tasmania? Freaking ads, would not expect them here, like the kids games. Bye, forget the History Channel
@@DogNamedWatson right, too many people missed the entire point of this video. Just like the privileged people sitting in the dining room eating a dinner likely prepared by servants toasting to "progress".
Stop putting HH adds in the show please. I pay for no adds, I would like to get what I pay for. The one in the beginning, I think we can live with, but once the show starts? Nah
This was a true shock to me. The men who played in this did a fantastic job.
Most of them are well known actors in our country 💜🇦🇺💜

This is all lifted from an Australian movie entitled The Last Confessions of Alexander Pearce, its available on RUclips. ☮️

Yes or another true story of the Donner party stuck in blizzard conditions and forced to basically do the same thing 😢
@@heathermanning5368 yes I was also going to mention this too. There’s many examples through history, including in wartime.
@@jillwanlin9558 Yes! So sad!
Great production. Thanks for your hard work.

@@VanDiemensLanderdid you spend an hour putting this on every single comment?
Truly amazing history story. This was better than a movie, I really enjoyed it. Your channel is awesome.
This vlog was definitely a great historical program on a true story. Thank you for continuing to bring these excellent videos on your channel!
We need another one with the same narrator
The speech by the priest was absolute A grade writing
This was filmed very beautifully, made me feel absolutely disgusted! That's how you know this video was amazingly realistic
Wow. This was gut wrenching.
Very good but sad movie...
Absolutely extraordinary. And a well scripted and acted production.
What an excellent docu-drama Top quality
Very good watch!
Wow this was really good

Another Aussie band, Drones, has an excellent song from their Gala Mill album. That's why I'm here
Humbling documentary.

I turned on the sub titles so I could understand what they were saying, but they made even less sense, they were hilarious.
There's a 20 minute short film on the same subject, it's shot mostly in Gaelic and yes, the subtitles are absolutely priceless!!😆
Same here haha
What is wrong with turning the lights up!!????? This isn't radio!! It'd be nice to see the pictures!!!
Just adjust your brightess smh. Everytime I read sone comment sections (this being one of them) I begin get a better understanding of what some womens husbands must feel like everyday lol.
@Francis Fischer. Great idea! Why didn't they film this sad, horrifying drama on a sunny beach in the Caribbean! 🤨🤫🤐🙄
Some things are also just better left to the imagination.
Thanks.
Fascinating
Desperate men do desperate things.

Entitlement isn’t cool, but it sure is ironic on this video
@NicorAdv. Do YOU work for free?
You need to use an adblocker...
Why are these vids all seem to be centered on evil people???
Unsubbing. No lol.
I think the whole point of this docu-drama is that he wasn't necessarily evil, but a victim of circumstance
@@DogNamedWatson right, too many people missed the entire point of this video. Just like the privileged people sitting in the dining room eating a dinner likely prepared by servants toasting to "progress".
Seriously fed up by all those dark dramatic voice over voices. Its been a trend for 20 years. Do something new. :P
Stop putting HH adds in the show please. I pay for no adds, I would like to get what I pay for. The one in the beginning, I think we can live with, but once the show starts? Nah
