Who Do You Think You Are on SBS and SBS on Demand Anna Maxwell Martin – Being a mum is a massive part of Motherland star Anna Maxwell Martin’s life.
She’s interested in what kinds of parents there were in the family before her – and how this has shaped her own life and the kind of parent she is to her own daughters.
Travelling to the small town in Northern Ireland where her father grew up, her understanding of her grandparents – who suffered a heartbreaking family tragedy – is turned on its head.
On her mother’s side, Anna starts with twinkly grandfather Maxwell, whose name she added to her own to create her stage name.
Looking into his childhood, she uncovers a dark history of domestic abuse and family separation.
But she also discovers extraordinary familial solidarity and love, which changed the pattern for the generations that followed.
