(Crime/suspense, 6×45 min.) Setting sail 500 hundred years ago in pursuit of the mythical Spice Islands, five Spanish ships with 265 men, the voyage of Juan Sebastián Elcano (Álvaro Morte) and Ferdinand Magellan (Rodrigo Santoro) would prove to be a critical junction in man’s perceptions of the world. Coming at the price of unimaginable suffering—starvation, death, punishing weather, mutinies and madness—this odyssey to the Earth’s unknown ends established the world was, indeed, round and the existence of an ocean route west. Emerging from former anti-hero and prisoner, Elcano, not Magellan, would lead the expedition to glory, returning as captain of the greatest navigational triumph.
