When will the movie come yo Florida.
What a wonderful experience!! Every college student should be required to view this show and use it as a sring board for their gap year. To pbs, what took you so long to produce this masterful show?
This was the best film I have ever seen on television. It should be shown in all United States High Schools.
I just saw the movie (Thanksgiving night in New Jersey) and it was AMAZING! I was glued to the TV. You guys are real special and I appreciate your bringing these films to us! Thanks!
It was on at 2 AM on PBS (Ch.27) last night Dec.5, 2008 here in Vancouver, Canada and Hopefully will be Repeated earlier as it’s Excellent for all ages !

Wonderful film of an incredible odyssey. I hope it is aired repeatedly in NY, I’ve recommended it to many.
Just saw the film yesterday afternoon in Chicago (WTTW) – STAGGERING! Truly an adventure in every sense of the word… let me know when the elephants are ready for the Hannibal tour!
To all our friends out there , known and unknown , and to all of you who have taken the time to blog , Thank you so very much ! I can’t begin to tell how much all of your kind words mean to both denis and I ! We are truly overwhelmed by your generosity of spirit . It really makes all the hardship worthwhile , knowning that you’ve touched someone life in such a positive way ! It’s a big responsibility – that we both intend to live up to …. FYI there where many times during the expedition that we wanted to quit , turn back , go home – more often then not the thing that kept us going were all of the people who believed in us ! Thanks for renewing this ground we walk on as we continue this last phase of our journey ! For the next few years we will be traveling around the country giving presentations – so tell everyone you know – better yet if you know of any Club , Organization, Society or School that would be interested ,Please ask them and let us know ! Once as newly made friend smuggled us across a closed border he said in parting ” Even Marco Polo must have needed help sometimes!” francis@returntovenice.com
This was a wonderful program. I attended the presentation at the Convention celebrating teaching and Learning and I nominate Francis O’Donnell and Denis Belliveau for next year’s Key Note Speakers. Their journey is inspirational.
I loved this program. I just stumbled on it on KQED in San Francisco and enjoyed more than even the best professional travelogues because their experiences were so real and genuine. Great job guys!!!
I hope they replay this great documentary soon on PBS 13 NYC TV. I saw it a few months ago and i am still talking about it. Best of luck Denis and Francis.
Where/how can I purchase a copy of the video?

ATTENTION: Confirmed from reliable source, NO DVD of program currently available of PBS show, “In the Footsteps of Marco Polo.” [Beware of fakes!] Source says, “Something we are working toward and may have someday soon.” My hope is that “soon ” means within six months or less! I would like to buy a copy and I believe so would others. The show was wonderful. Robert
I was riveted by this documentary film. It has created a delicious desire in me to want to go and explore new destinations, that I have delayed pursuing because I couldn’t find anyone to travel with me.
WOW……..what an adventure you two had. You both were so brave to venture out into our hostal world and I am so amazed at your courage & stamina. We Americans” have it made”, so to speak. Every high school should do a presentation of your journey. Very well done! Love the way you recounted & spoke of your adventures. Watched it twice today. You both would make wonderful American Ambassadors.
i want to purchase a dvd of this fantastic journey !!!! please tell me how!!!!!! i saw it on kqed in the san francisco bay area. thanks.
