Set in Australia's Colonial era (1798–1812). Surviving the hardship and horror of transportation to Australia Mary faces an uncertain future in a savage land-establishing herself against the turbulent backdrop of Australia's Castle Hill Rebellion of 1804 and the 1808 Rum Rebellion. It tells the story of Mary Mulvane, an 18 year old unfairly charged and sentenced to serve seven years as a convict, transported from Ireland to NSW in 1798.ĭestined to overcome the misery of a repressed life Mary's journey represents a grueling chapter of the Australian experience. (It doesn't hurt that he ends up with the lovely Dinah, played by the fabulous Susannah Harker of House of Cards and the 1995 Pride and Prejudice-why on earth has this talented young woman not become a huge star?) Viewing the characters' transgressions through 21st century eyes can make some of the plot lines feel remote-nearly unbelievable-but the all-too-human struggles of people trying to do the right thing will always ring true.īased on true historical accounts AGAINST THE WIND covers 15 years of Australia's most brutal Colonial past. Glen shows Adam slowly but truly growing up, realizing the consequences of his actions. And still, the moral order must be upheld. But what Adam has set in motion, the world will be reeling from for a very long time: in the wake of his impetuous act lie despair, heartbreak, a secret pregnancy, thoughts of suicide, a nd death. Adam is torn by love and commitment, and once he sets his sights on the fetching farmgirl Hetty (Patsy Kensit), he's convinced Hetty's love for his rich acquaintance Arthur is a sham, and uses force to get Arthur to break off their relationship.

In this excellent 1991 BBC adaptation, Adam is played by the appealing Iain Glen, who shows he's as comfortable in a sweeping period drama as he is in popcorn fare like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider or the Resident Evil films. George Eliot's young English country hero is headstrong and arrogant, and sees the world in black and white-not unlike his 18th-century countrymen, living and (barely) breathing by the strict moral code of the day.

Adam Bede is the very definition of a brash young man.
