HOW PEOPLE LIVE ON PITCAIRN | Why 40 People Refuse to Leave the Most Remote Island | 4K

Pitcairn Island is home to about 40 people, the least populated territory on Earth. There is no airport, no harbour, and the nearest city is more than 5,000 km away. Almost everyone here descends from the mutineers of HMS Bounty, who burned their ship in 1790 so no one could find them.

In this documentary we travel to Pitcairn to see how people really live there: the mutiny on the Bounty and the bloody first years, the American ship that found the last survivor, Adamstown and the Hill of Difficulty, longboat landings in the surf, the Pitkern language, honey, stamps and the .pn domain, Henderson Island buried in plastic, and the free land nobody wants. And the big question: why do 40 people refuse to leave?
