The Secret History of My Family

The Secret History of My Family' is a documentary created from a two-year research project, exploring social mobility over a 200-year period. The miniseries explores Britain's history using particular case studies, tracing family ancestry throughout the years and examining whether social ranks have changed within them. During the Victorian era, working-class citizens often went unrecorded in official documents, however dark times brought upper-class missionaries to their aid. With the written accounts of these upper-class visitors, the BBC Documentaries team have been able to trace down descendants to British families today. Over four episodes, different families discuss what they have discovered about their lineage and social backgrounds.
