Juan de Fuca’s Adventures

by Denise Dufault

60 min., video, 2009

Juan de Fuca's adventures, is the true life story of 16th century Greek explorer Apostolis- Yiannis Fokas who left his island home to go and work for the Royal Spanish Navy, becoming Juan de Fuca on the way. It was he who was the first European in this neck of the woods, two hundred years before Captains Cook and Vancouver!
In a perfect world I would be doing this as a feature film, now I am trying to pull something together in order to highlight one of the last unknown world explorers in time for exposure at the 2010 winter Olympiad.
