The Story of a Search
Was this B. Traven , one of the most mysterious figures of the 20th century? He wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and a dozen other fine books which have sold in millions around the world, but no publisher, no agent, and no fellow author ever met him - he has remained the Marie Celeste of literature, a name with no identity. Nobody knew in what language he wrote. Nobody knew in what country he had been born. Nobody knew if he was one man or several. It was even said that those who sought him were struck down and destroyed.
Traven boasted that his real name was a secret no one would ever discover. Until now, no one has.
Robert Robinson has written this film about the trail he and a BBC team followed from Hollywood to the heart of Germany, from Mexico City to Limehouse to trace the life of this mystery man -for the first time the secrets of B. Traven are discovered.
