In the Footsteps of Marco Polo
Many people have big dreams, but only a few bold adventurers live them. Denis Belliveau and Francis O'Donnell
took a wild idea - retrace Marco Polo's entire 25,000-mile, land-and-sea route from Venice to China and back - and
spent two incredible years of their lives making their dream a reality.
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARCO POLO, premiering on public television beginning November 2008, chronicles
the journey of two ordinary guys - Belliveau, at the time a wedding photographer, and O'Donnell, an artist
and former Marine - as they set out to follow Polo's historic route. Equal parts travelogue, adventure story,
history trek and buddy movie, the 90-minute film weaves footage from the duo's often perilous voyage with
Marco Polo's descriptions and experiences. (from wliw.org)
