A seven-part series about a journey of adventure with the Brothers Blair among the volcanic islands and coral reefs of the vast Indonesian archipelago.
2: Spice Island Saga
Lome and Lawrence Blair , two young Englishmen, voyage in a trading schooner through the far-flung Spice Islands. Once, the nutmeg and cloves from these parts lured the West into the age of discovery; Columbus was looking for these islands when he stumbled on the Americas.
The brothers are welcomed by obscure sultans to whom Europeans are the rarest of guests. They explore coral reefs with pearl divers, they hunt pythons in dank caves, they seek and find the almost mythical Greater Bird of Paradise. Indeed, their whole voyage is one through a remote and tropical paradise.... Film editors
