Emily Eden journeyed across British Imperial India in the mid-1800s.

She was the sister and companion to Lord Auckland, Governor General of India.

'We travel half the way on elephant and the other half on horseback, and we are followed by 850 camels, 140 elephants, several hundred horses, George's official bodyguard, a full regiment as escort, and a whole host of camp followers. Thus we are about 12,000 people in all.

On occasions the front of the column arrives at the new camp before the rear of it has left the old.'

Sarah Badel stars as Emily Eden.
