THE SILK ROAD: The Journey from China to Turkey

In 1271, Marco Polo left Venice, Italy on a journey of 4,000 miles to China. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, opened the trade routes to greater traffic as cultures, ideas and goods from the West and the East were exchanged and great fortunes were made on the Silk Road. Here, filmmaker Marlin Darrah travels in Marco Polo's footsteps, traveling through five countries and 30 cities. 134 minutes.
