The Pitcairn Trials

Pitcairn has 37 people and a scandal that pushed the island to the brink of extinction.

Halfway between Peru and New Zealand is a tiny volcanic island, a little known British Territory. The community of Pitcairn is home to 37 people....and a terrifying scandal. In The Pitcairn Trials, British Journalist Luke Jones uncovers a story of historic abuse in a remote place where prosecuting secrets and challenging centuries of power has left deep scars on generations of women and girls, and brought a unique, lonely, pacific island to the brink of extinction.

The Pitcairn Trials is a chilling lesson in what human beings can be capable of when they think no one is watching them.
