Synopsis by Sarah Welsh
Volume II of writer-director Luc Cuyvers' fascinating four-part series follows the trail of the Portuguese explorers who first rounded the southern tip of Africa. Known as both the Cape of Storms and the Cape of Good Hope, this perilous landmark signified a dramatic change in course -- for the history of the continent being rapidly colonized as much as for the sailors heading to India. This stunningly photographed film, part travelogue and part history, uncovers the human drama of a distant era while taking us on an unforgettable journey around the globe.
