Desc: Forgotten Island: Directed by John Fernhout. With Dwight Weist. Due to its relative isolation, and difficulty to reach, the island of Socotra, off the coast of Yemen and Somalia has developed its own unique flora, fauna, and culture. Researchers, from botany to linguistics delight in the many mysteries Socotra holds. Unique plants, a large cave system with finds dating back to 248 CE, and a living language that harkens back to ancient Arabic.
