After his famed discovery of the New World, Columbus has fallen from grace.
Imprisoned in a Caribbean jail, he plans one last grand voyage across the Atlantic to restore his name.
His final voyage would become his most ambitious, treacherous, and dangerous...
The most amazing feat was that he survived.
This is a dramatised documentary relating the story of Christopher Columbus’s ill-fated final voyage to the New World.
Eight years after he first discovered America, Columbus still has an all-consuming ambition to find the Westward Passage, a route to the riches of the East by sailing West.
This is the story of a man prepared to risk everything in pursuit of his aim, a tale of skilful and innovative navigation, of endurance, suffering and a descent into near-madness.
