great documentary

I came across this in the middle of the night the other day, and DVRs it off PBS. It originally played in 2009, I believe, but I saw it in early November 2020. I was captivated by the story of two New Yorkers following Marco Polos trail, which they did in the early 1990s. Im a history buff but the film was also a travelogue, with incredible sights. They ventured where Americans had never gone before. A very entertaining film.

Fantastic! A wonderful and beautiful experience for this former Peace Corps volunteer in Iran, 1967-69. The film, besides offering the incredible sights, sounds, and peoples the travelers experienced, also touches the heart and spirit and offers many seed thoughts for reflection.
