To ring in, or market off
of, the arrival of the surefire moneymaker “Pirates of
the Caribbean”, the History Channel’s newest documovie
explores the legends and origins of pirates. Pirates of
the Caribbean (as the narrator so sneakily includes)
have been around since the 1700’s, and they’ve been a
staple of pop culture and the world ever since. Pirates
truly are no laughing matter being described as vicious
killer and rapists whom roam along the open seas where
law is not in power, and proceed in snatching up hapless
victims.“Pirates”
chronicles much of the pirate timelines from the
formation of invasions, Henry Morgan, and Ann Bonny
lifting and scrutinizing the clichés and stereotypes
we’ve all become familiar with through time with Robert
Louis Stevenson’s help. “True Caribbean Pirates” is not
only just a history lesson, but also a fun semi-film
following the groups of pirates through time and how
they commuted and co-existed. Also, there’s featured one
large chapter on the most famous pirate of all time:
Black beard, and his rule. Explored are his many methods
of intimidation over enemies, his rule over his crew and
the seas, and their inevitable rebellion against their
country. "True Caribbean Pirates" is a fun journey into
the world of pirates and their practices.
Premieres July 9th
