The True Story of Pirates

Pirates! Hollywood has fueled our imaginations and turned them into popular icons. Beyond literature and fantasy the documentary reveals who these fearless adventurers and these masters of the sea once were.

Thanks to new excavations in Mauritius and Madagascar, as well as archival and museum research in France, Spain, England and Canada, a group of international scholars paint a new portrait of the world of piracy in the Indian Ocean.
