The Coriolis Effect

Masterful documentary about the volcanic islands of Cape Verde, where wind and ocean shape the lives of both animals and people. The stunning imagery combined with the enchanting music of renowned Cape Verdean composer Vasco Martins makes The Coriolis Effect an unparalleled ode to life on Earth. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean lies the Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) archipelago. Here, the hurricanes are born that each year batter the Caribbean and the United States. By nature, the islands come with many limitations. Anyone who lives here must be resilient. Whether you are a goat, a person, or a turtle—if you want to build a life here, to bring forth new life, you must show vitality.
