Mediterranean: A Sea for All (2019x10)

:

Seeking to remind us about the sea's history and inspire us to preserve it. The cradle of human civilization, today the Mediterranean region is home to 427 million people and 24 countries. In this film, shot entirely from the air, the Mediterranean is seen only from the sky, exploring even its most inaccessible countries such as Libya, Lebanon, Egypt and Algeria. This aerial journey directs its focus on the role the natural world plays in this paradise for curious explorers. The Mediterranean is home to mountain ranges that tower over plains and estuaries, as well as deserts and the sea. Warning: you may want to book your next holiday after viewing this two-part series. The Mediterranean is abundant in so many ways – ethnically, religiously, culturally. Three major religions were born here. It’s also the world’s most densely populated region and the scene of countless battles in its wartorn history.
