A documentary about the lost civilization of the Guanches, the aboriginals of Canary Islands
Living isolated from the rest of the world, the Guanches believed they were the only survivors of a terrible natural catastrophe that wiped out humanity – until Spanish sailors stepped on the Canary islands.
More than 1500 years separated the two cultures.
