Description
St Kilda now lies deserted, but it was once home to one of the hardiest and most remarkable communities anywhere in the world. For hundreds of years, islanders endured extraordinary conditions and built a unique society. That was until the 29th August 1930, when the entire island boarded a ship and left. Forever.
This series tells that story, through the eyes of two young islanders and the paths they both choose. It's a story about home, heritage and belonging, all stretched across the shores of the Atlantic.
