My grandmother was born on a plantation just after the ship docked into South America from India, indentured servitude was way different than the experience in this video. Interesting.

Our ancestors world was a lot different than ours. Our worst days are probably a thousand times better than their best days. No social services, no social safety net. You adapted and tried overcome your lot in your world or just excepted it.

Imagine being able to see Australia at the start of settlement. I would look totally different to anything they had seen before

A lot of inaccuracies by this so-called expert. To call indentured servitude as a sort of apprenticeship is an outright lie. From the moment Mandy met her, this woman was trying desperately to portray it as an exciting working holiday. The reality was completely different, and to hear a British accent saying it, well, it doesn’t surprise me
