- Summary:
- "This film captures a vanishing history. Did Marco Polo really make it to China? Did he spend 17 years with Emperor Kublai Khan? On his deathbed, Marco Polo claimed that “I have only told you half of what I saw!” We believe him. This famous Venetian explorer had extensively traveled the Northern Silk Road and the Southern Silk Road, also known as the Tea Road. He meticulously recorded his fascinating observations in a best-selling book, which has, for the over 700 years, never gone out of print. Have you ever seen a horse fall 50 feet into a turbulent river and survive? Or an entire caravan zip-line its way through treacherous mountain passes? Watch this film, and follow in Marco Polo’s footsteps, reveling in the magic of his resumed adventure. Experience this legendary past, and many of the many mysteries of the East."-- From Heritage Broadcasting Service
