Long before Johnny Depp and Disney brought their version to the screen, scores of real pirates plied their brutal trade in the waters of the Caribbean. In the 1600s and1700s, Captain Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Captain William Kidd, Anne Bonny and Jean Laffitte were among the infamous pirates whose crews lied in wait to violently raid merchant ships of various nations.
Utilizing dramatization, CGI animation, expert interviews, archival imagery and artifacts, TRUE CARIBBEAN PIRATES focuses on the Caribbean's most notorious pirates and the evolution of their dark trade...the ships and countries they violently attacked and plundered, the various government responses to the vicious and intolerable attacks, and the bloody battles that followed. |
