On Friday, March 10th, filmmaker and world traveler Marlin Darrah spoke before an audience of over one hundred and fifty people at Broadway Palm Dinner Theater for the annual ECHO film series. Darrah presented his documentary “Silk Road”, the historical trade route that stretched across Asia and parts of Europe nearly two thousand years ago. Darrah blazed a trail across the continent of Asia, following in the footsteps of those who traveled on the Silk Road. Beginning in Western China, Darrah took his viewers from China into Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkey. Throughout his travels, Darrah chronicles the cultures of the countries he visits, learning more about the famous trail from an insider’s perspective. The film series is one of the larger fundraisers for ECHO, since the proceeds help fund the many interns that dedicate themeselves toward the mission of ECHO. The film series is advertised using local media outlets in hopes of not only sharing the mission of ECHO, but of educating the public on the many parts of the world.
