"Una visita a las vastas regiones de la Tierra conectadas por un lazo común: el Ecuador, siguiendo el sol a través de más de 40 mil Kms. alrededor del círculo de la Tierra, este programa se vale de lo más reciente en imágenes por satélite, de un jet Lear especialmente equipado y de un glider motorizado para ofrecernos espectaculares vistas aéreas y sobrecogedores paisajes. Además, veremos un acercamiento de los pueblos, las culturas y la historia natural de los países cuyo territorio atraviesa la línea ecuatorial."--Container. Ecuador, Indonesia, Kenya, Brazil, Singapore. Five distinct regions of the world with little in common except that they are connected by an imaginary line called the equator. "Volando sobre el ecuador" traces this line, giving you an in-depth look at the cultures that exist where the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet. You'll follow the sun for 25,000 miles on a spectacular aerial journey of dramatic landscapes. And you'll learn about the ongoing conflict between global participation and isolationism, as countries such as Singapore that have embraced modernization are contrasted with those that maintain their ancient ways. Depicts lifestyles, cultures, and geography of 9 different countries which border the equator.
