In 1834, after Britain abolished slavery, the government decided to compensate 46,000 slave owners for the loss of their "property".

Nearly 200 years later, BBC correspondent Laura Trevelyan travelled to Grenada in the Caribbean to uncover her family’s grim legacy, and learn more about what the ongoing discussions of reparations mean for the island.
