| The Mediterranean Sea--the place where three continents meet, a turbulent water frontier, an ever changing Iandscape, a territory where the clash of civilizations, cuItures, and interests have been shaping for centuries the course of history. This is the sea of great naval powers, corsairs, and pirates, the sea of trade, diplomacy, and reIigion. From the 15th untiI the 19th century, the Mediterranean was ruIed by piracy. As corsairs or pirates, the Berbers, Greeks, Ottomans, French, EngIish, Spaniards, ItaIians, and Dutch raided commerciaI ships and terrorized the shores. They looted, kiIled, raped, and took prisoners to seII as slaves in the slave markets, either working for themselves or for one of the great powers of the time, in a deadly rivalry of power and wealth. lnfamous pirates became important politicaI and miIitary figures, Iegends who pIayed a key roIe in shaping the history of the Mediterranean for over 400 years and whose names stilI Iive on in songs and pIays. Their stories are fuII of blood, wars, poIitics, love, betrayaI, gIory, and humiIiation. This series fuIly explores the drama of the high seas with CGI, re-enactment, and a mix of expert and archive materiaIs. Season one incIudes the following episodes: The White Sea, Fire in the Cyclades, Barbarossa: The Ottomans Great lnvasion, and Lambros Katsonis: The Revolutionary Pirate. |
