In Search of Marco Polo

In Search of Marco Polo is a Croatian documentary TV miniseries written and directed by Miro Branković.

Viewers are introduced to their development, becoming familiar with three completely different and, to us, relatively unknown spheres of civilisation and religion—Arabic Islam, Indian Hinduism and Oriental Buddhism.

The host takes us through regions and cultures that may seem exotic—and, at times, dreamlike—in our search for the evidence of Marco Polo's passage.

Interviews with common folk bring to light amazing facts and tales of unfamiliar customs, beliefs, crafts, attitudes and value systems that have developed in Asia over the millennia.

The war tactics of the Mongolian army, the greatest military force of its time, are contrasted with the life of today's Mongols in their quaint yurts.
