The Last Tasmanian (1979x13)

: 22, 1979

The Tasmanian Aborigines were totally exterminated last century. It is the only case on record of a genocide so complete and so swift. The British colonists in Tasmania wiped out the whole race within the lifetime of Truganini, who was the last to die in 1876. This programme follows the painstaking search of archaeologist Dr Rhys Jones to uncover the full story.
