IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARCO POLO, premiering on public television beginning November 2008 (check local listings), chronicles the journey of two ordinary guys – Denis Belliveau, at the time a wedding photographer, and Francis 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. Richly enhanced with Belliveau’s award-winning photographs, the program details their highs and lows as they retrace Polo’s path, trying to see what he saw and feel what he must have felt.

As a person with a great interest in all things Asian , I have followed , studied and read everything I could get my hands on over the years about the great Venetian Explorer . So having just finished reading the magnificent companion book to your brilliant film I need to ask just one question - Why did you leave out so many of the boys amazing stories ? I guess it’s as the old saying goes ” the book is always better “
