After the RTP series, the film "Além do Horizonte - A Travessia" arrives in theaters
The film "Além do Horizonte - A Travessia" highlights Portuguese aviators Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho, who completed the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic in 1922. Directed by Fernando Vendrell, the movie features special effects and models, filmed in various locations in Portugal. Vendrell aims to showcase the aviators' courage and the scientific advancements they contributed, particularly the invention of the artificial horizon sextant, which revolutionized aerial navigation and demonstrated the feasibility of long-distance flights. This system remains a reference in aviation today.
