Georges by Alexandre Dumas
Dramatized by Testament
Episode 1
It is the early nineteenth century. Georges is the young son of wealthy planter Pierre Munier on the slave colony of the Isle de France. The family is 'mixed race', but they are shunned by the other plantation owners as racially inferior. The island is soon under threat from the British, and the Munier family are ready to join the inhabitants and defend the colony. But will the 'Whites' allow them to? What transpires seeds Georges hatred of the plantation owners and fuels his future revenge. This is Dumas' most personal novel as he tackles the racism of his society. This has resonances for a young writer of colour who is trying to adapt the novel.
