I have received the following link from a local and family history mailing list http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/whodoyouthinkyouare/feature-episode/page/i/1/show/whodoyouthinkyouare the episode about Olympic gold-medallist Christine Freeman, which is well worth watching.
Christine's ancestors include indigenous Australians and 19th-century immigrants from China and from apprenticeship, under semi-slavery conditions, in rural England, the injustices suffered by all of them are uncovered in the investigation of her fanily tree. The programme is a moving and excellent hour of social history, seldom laid so clearly bare, of the injustices sufferered by the poort and the indigenous peoples of the areas of the world of !Ango-Saxon" settlement. (Whether the link works in USA, only list members can tell me - but it works fine in UK).
