Gerard Depardieu stars as Christopher Columbus in this epic expedition picture.

Columbus is portrayed as the very human character he was instead of the deity he became through history. He is shown discovering North America and the disastrous affects the Europeans had on the original inhabitants by trying to “civilize” it.
