This film won't really make a lot of sense if you didn't know some Columbus history, I read up on it briefly,.and, well, this film certainly is a bullet-point bio of him. A lot of things are questionable, a lot of things left unexplained, and so on. Going from point to point is almost pointless actually. Proceed at your own risk!
