Andes (1x2)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Haz 25, 2017

The Andes stretch across the entire South American continent, forming a 7000-kilometer chain of plateaus and peaks, from the tip of South America to the Caribbean. They are the largest mountain range in the world, home to the highest navigable lake, the highest city in the world, and the highest gym. The Andes are a mountain range of extremes. Even well-trained people struggle to survive at this altitude. But how do the mountain dwellers get by with so little oxygen all their lives? What remains of human dignity when the search for gold leads to a downward spiral that damages living conditions and health? How does this extreme situation affect the human soul? The documentary shows life in the Andes, at the limits of human endurance. (Text: Servus TV)
