Pirates are one hell of entertaining beings!


We grew up listening to their stories and watching them in a number of entertainment mediums such as in the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series, starring the highly charismatic actor Johnny Depp. But did you ever wonder how real-life pirates actually look like? What are their stories? History? Are there still any left?


Well, hold on a minute. Netflix is going to tell us just that!


The streaming giant is delving deeper into the world of pirates with the latest documentary-series, “The Lost Pirate Kingdom.”


This upcoming docu-series tells the stories of real-life pirates of the Caribbean, the stories which haven’t been told or portrayed on a mainstream media platform before.


Interesting, right?


Here are five shocking facts about Netflix’s “The Lost Pirate Kingdom” that make it a must watch. Check them out!

The six-part docu-series explores the reason why they became pirates in the first place. After the war with Spain, British privateers— who worked in the freelance Naval force— went jobless and couldn’t find any other means to make money other than by being pirates and stealing from Spanish treasure.


Ultimately, they got banned by their own government. So, they decided to establish the world’s first fully-democratic republic in Bahamas by setting slaves free and gave them a right to vote to choose their own government. It's an interesting take on the gold age of pirates!
