On April 12th, Captain Richard Phillips was released from the hands of Somalian pirates, after 5 days of tense negotiation.

Is civil war and cultural instability breeding this sea-borne chaos?

Join Kaj Larson for an hour long special presentation as Vanguard takes a look at both Somalia and the global epidemic of Piracy.

First, go with Kaj to Indonesia, as he tracks down Modern Day Pirates.

Then follow Kaj and Vanguard correspondent, Christof Putzel as they travel to Somalia and Yemen to look at what's behind the growing piracy threat in the region.
