Magalhâes
Historical drama
Magellan is a Portuguese navigator rebelling against the power of the King, who doesn’t support his dreams of discovering the world. He persuades the Spanish Crown to support his bold expedition to the fabled lands of the East. His dreams come first.
The voyage is exhausting beyond expectations, with hunger and mutiny pushing the crew to their limits. Upon reaching the islands of the Malayan Archipelago, Magellan’s mind has changed. He becomes obsessed with conquest and conversion, which sparks violent uprisings beyond his control.
This is not the myth of Magellan, but the truth of his journey.
