An extremely powerful film showing the terrible risks that Africans will take to get to The Promised Land. Juan Medina, an Argentine photographer, arrived in Spain twenty years ago. Medina was looking for a better life and decided to settle in Fuerteventura, attracted by a tourist slogan portraying it as 'The Tranquil Isle.' He could not have guessed then that he would be an eye witness to the tragic exodus of Africans to Europe. Over the last ten years, 32,000 Africans have landed on the coast of the Canary Islands in makeshift boats. Many have died in the attempt, drowned in the 100 or so kilometers of seas separating the islands from the African mainland. One night in November 2004, Juan was on board a Spanish police patrol vessel. A drifting craft was spotted full of immigrants. But the makeshift boat capsized: 11 people drowned and 29 were rescued.

It’s probably the world’s most secretive country. We take a peak inside, seeing the secrecy and propaganda surrounding a country that is famous not only for the awful living conditions of its citizens, but also for challenging the world with its nuclear programme. We visit North Korea under the vigilant eye of the authorities, which accompany the team on a route visiting the symbolic sites of the world’s last real socialist regime. Half a century after the Korean War, two decades after the end of the Cold War and with the recent memory of the great famine, the North exalts ideological purity and preaches the dream of reunification with the South. Meanwhile, as South Korean companies take advantage of the investment opportunities offered by Pyongyang, North and South Koreans alike share the 'big dream'.
