Plot
This is the story of Christopher Columbus, who believes that by sailing west across the uncharted ocean he will eventually reach the Far East. He persuades Queen Isabel of Spain to back his expedition as a way of finding a new trade route to Asia. Instead of the Asia, he finds new islands where he dreams of establishing a new world. However, his attempts to live in peace with the natives are sabotaged by his followers who seek to exploit the land and the native people.
