Journey with the world’s most traveled filmmaker, Marlin Darrah, as he explores the exotic country of Madagascar - the 4th largest island in the world. This fabled land is home to incredible and unique forms of wildlife and geography. The lemurs of this island are legendary - there are 100 species of this fascinating primate to be found here. Visitors are also captivated by the other endemic animals of Madagascar, such as the tortoises and chameleons. 
 
The local people, the Malagasy, are a special mix of hereditary Indonesians, Africans, Chinese and some French. Their country is a kind of paradise in the Indian Ocean.  Three centuries ago the island lured thousands of pirates from the Caribbean (such as Captain Kidd). The pirates used Madagascar as a base of operations for the seizing and plundering of ships of all flags in the Indian Ocean. 
It’s believed Robert Louis Stevenson used one of the islands of Madagascar, St. Mary, as the basis for his famous book “Treasure Island.” Join Darrah as he delves into the pirate lore and uncovers clues to hidden treasures of gold and silver.  Filmed in high-definition HD.
