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!

It
explores the reason why they turned to being pirates

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!

Let’s be honest, we all used to believe that pirates are
mythical creatures. Okay, maybe not! But we bet you don’t know their real
stories. Now, we’re going to see and listen to the tales and discussions of actual pirate
legends like Henry Jennings, Blackbeard Benjamin Hornigold, and Henry Vane.

We are totally up for it!

Woah! The whole concept of pirates is hard to believe, let
alone the fact that there was a female pirate. The Netflix series will also
explore the story of a female pirate named Anne Bonny, and we wouldn’t be lying
if we said it’s the character we’re most excited about.
