Vivan las Antipodas!

Added to my films
Where would you end up if you were to dig a straight tunnel from one side of the world to the other? This question has aroused the fantasy of many writers, children, and now documentary filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky. He didn't just fantasize about it, but really went on a journey and filmed four pairs of antipodes: Argentina and China, Spain and New Zealand, Hawaii and Botswana, and Russia and Chile. During his visits to four such antipodal pairs, the award-winning documentary filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky captured images that turn our view of the world upside down. A beautiful, peaceful sunset in Entre Ríos is contrasted with the bustling streets in rainy Shanghai. People who live in a wasteland are connected to people dwelling next to a volcano. Landscapes which splendor touches the soul are juxtaposed with the clamor of a vast city. These antipodes seem mythically connected, somehow united by their oppositeness.
