Footsteps
In Their Footsteps is a series of documentaries featuring the
travel experiences of famous historical characters -- adventurers,
explorers, writers and soldiers. The idea is to transport you in time.
Make you feel as if you are there. In each show we are guided by
special people whose diaries, journals and written observations combine
with the voices of their contemporaries to tell fascinating stories of
travel and adventure.
