Empire with David Olusoga, Series 1: Episode
Really enjoyed this three part documentary. Learned a lot. Some of it predictably grim where humans are concerned but lighter moments later in series include finding out that post WWII converted agricultural tanks sent by Brits to clear forestry in parts of Africa "bounced off" the mighty Baobab trees and brought work to a halt the plans had to be cancelled.🌴💪
