My name is Francis ODonnell , creator , producer and subject of the PBS Emmy nominated Documentary ” In the footsteps of Marco Polo ” it details an Historic Expedition retracing the entire route of the Venetian explorer 25.000 mile journey along the Silkroad , without flying. It can be viewed – http://www.wliw.org/marcopolo . I have had the good fortune to be in contact with Mr. Fusco , and imparted my congratulations on what I felt was a wonderfully well done series on Marco Polo. At that point I extended my wishes that he would be granted the ability to produce further seasons … I am overjoyed at Netflix wisdom !
