You’ve seen the American version—now compare it to the original BBC series.
This sixty-minute episode follows Natasha Kaplinsky, an engaging BBC-TV anchorwoman, as she traces her roots in Poland (now Belarus), by way of South Africa to England.
This thoughtful film portrays the joys and sorrows of a genealogical search from an initial curiosity about why her family never spoke of eastern European background through the process of interviewing family, going to archives, using internet sites, hiring a researcher, traveling to ancestral lands, and visiting people and places of the past.
As is typical in family research, surprises pop up, and there is an appreciation of how world events reverberate through the generations.
