Magellan's Extraordinary Odyssey - Season 1 (2022)

In 1519, Fernando Magellan put together a crazy expedition that was to take 237 men to the Indies via the western route. In doing so, Magellan wished to bring to life Christopher Columbus’ dreams. He threw himself headlong into this project concerning a land of which the exact dimensions were unknown, and with the wind as his sole driving power, along dangerous and unknown coastlines, accompanied by a wary Spanish crew, in latitudes where no boat had ever sailed before. After 3 years of escapades only 18 sick, worn out, and dying sailors sailed back up the Guadalquivir River on the Victoria. They had just achieved the first-ever round-the-world journey. Miraculously, the onboard chronicler was among the survivors. This captivating series brings back to life one of the most extraordinary adventures in history.
