roberts23 The best historical film on Pirates I've ever seen. I have been a pirate fan for many years and when POTC came out I was thrilled that it was so fun and entertaining. Since then there as been a lot more interest about true historical pirates and their stories. Tim Prokop, the Director of True Caribbean Pirates, did an excellent job creating a documentary that is not only full of very interesting historical facts but also very fun to watch. I was very impressed with the format and the photography. The aerial shots were fantastic. The actors did a great job recreating the true character of each of the Pirates. I have seen it several times and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. There is still so much more about the Golden Age of Piracy, I hope to see more like this film. I am a collector of stories, books and films about Pirates, I can't wait to add this film to my collection.

hegekat I am a big fan of Captain Jack Sparrow and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I know those movies are fiction but they made me want to find out more about the real thing. True Caribbean Pirates did that for me. I loved the battle scenes especially the ship to ship battles. I also liked the story about Anne Bonny and Mary Read. I did not know that there were women pirates. I was confused about what a letter of Marque was when they mentioned them in "Dead Mans Chest". This show explained what they are and what was the difference between pirates and privateers. It also told me what "the Code" is that POTC keeps talking about. Now I know it was more than just "guidelines". It was how the pirates formed a democratic crew and how they divided their booty. The show was very informative for teen-agers who only know pirates because of Jack Sparrow. I'm glad I watched it and I NEVER watch documentaries. I hope the History Channel makes sequel maybe about pirate hunters and privateers and tell us something about the East India Company. I'm going to order my own copy of True Caribbean Pirates and keep it right next to my copy of "Curse of the Black Pearl".

capnpern Being a professional pirate with Blackbeards Crew in Hampton Virginia. I try to watch every pirate related show that comes on TV or movies. After viewing True Caribbean Pirates I was left with the feeling that someone finally got it right. Kudos to the Director of True Caribbean Pirates, Tim Prokop. There were some small pieces of the story missing however that initially concerned me. Like the fact that Benjamin Hornigold wasn't with Blackbeard when he took "Le Concorde de Nantes" I think this was due to not having enough time to cover everything. So I hope he gets the chance to add additional content to this film in the future. I can't wait to get my own copy.Huzzah!!!! for a job very well done!

foureverfaire This film by the history channel is one of the best films on pirates i've seen in a long time. This film is chocked fulled of historically correct information. This is a film you can watch over and over and over again and see and hear something you missed before. It's great fun to watch, great expert speakers, the narrators voice is easy on your ears and pleasant to listen to, wonderful action shots, beautiful scenery, loved the ships. Would loved to see more, a mini series maybe. i know they had to cut a lot out to keep within their allotted air time. i know there is a lot more information that could be shared with us. i've already watched it several times and cant wait for it to become available to own. it's a great educational tool.
