MAGELLAN

"Follows a young, ambitious Portuguese navigator who, after his proposal is rejected by the King, persuades the Spanish Crown to fund an expedition to the East. The journey is brutal, marked by hunger and mutiny, and upon reaching the Malay Archipelago, Magellan's ambition turns into an obsession with conquest and conversion, which leads to violent uprisings and challenges his legacy. It portrays a less mythical, more complex truth about the explorer's voyage, highlighting the collision of ambition, power, greed, and colonialism."
