Secret History - The Forgotten Famine (Aug 12th 1997) [TVRip (Xvid)].avi

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV



Documentary telling the full story of maladministration and official in-difference behind three million deaths between 1943 and 1944 in the famine that struck Bengal. In the 1940s, what is now Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal had a population of 60 million. When the Japanese cut through Burma, the British response was to concentrate food supplies on the war workers in Calcutta instead of those who had grown the food, thus devastating the local populace. Eye-witness reports piece together a forgotten catastrophe.



TVRip from the More4 repeat last week on 27/3/08 at 3:20am. Been waiting a long time to see this and noticed by chance it was on last week. Set my DVR and Sod's Law seems not to have come into action.
