Young Fernando Columbus: Of all the words my father wrote - and there were many - I remember these the most: "Nothing that results from human progress is achieved with unanimous consent. And those who are enlightened before the others are condemned to persue that light in spite of others."

Trivia
The original title was simply "Columbus". See more »Goofs
While hunting the white egret on the island, the shooter used an English made matchlock musket with a flared muzzle and a "fishtail" stock. This particular design wasn't in use until the early 17th century. See more »Quotes

This is a great film, I really enjoyed watching it. We watched a small amount at school, and I just had to go out and borrow the video to watch it all. Gérard did a great job of playing Christopher Columbus, this film is also very informative and I did learn from it. I would recommend that everyone go and get this film on video and watch it.
