Plot
The official synopsis reads: "The real-life pirates of the Caribbean violently plunder the world's riches and form a surprisingly egalitarian republic in this documentary series." The series features the real lives of legendary pirates Blackbeard, Henry Jennings, and Henry Vane. In addition, the series also squeezes in the story of female pirate Anne Bonny. World Screen also provides context for the series.
"The end of the war with Spain left British privateers, who worked as a freelance Naval force, out of work," it reads. " Turning to piracy, they continued to take the treasure from the Spanish and were ultimately outlawed by their own crown. They went on to set up the world’s first fully democratic republic in the Bahamas, freed the enslaved, and gave them full voting rights."
