Britain’s Distant Lands showcases and celebrates the astounding diversity of animals, plants, landscapes, cultures and history of the UK Overseas Territories.

The sixteen UK Overseas Territories are scattered across all seven seas, from the Equator to the South Pole.

They harbour lush tropical rainforest, pristine coral reefs and Antarctic tundra, as well as some of the world’s largest penguin, albatross and sea turtle populations.

More than one thousand unique plant and animal species call the UK Overseas Territories home, as do 270,000 British subjects united by a proud cultural heritage and many unique stories.

A DVD version of this film was sent to 10,000 schools across the UK and the UK Overseas Territories as part of the 2019 Hanson Box (see www.hansonbox.org ).

This film was made possible by the Don Hanson Charitable Foundation.

Created in partnership with Friends of the British Overseas Territories.
