Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Set sail with a dozen sunbronzed boys on a field-trip through history in this fascinating documentary originally produced for French television. This home video version is culled from all thirteen episodes and features a real-life cast of handsome young adventurers on board the sailing ship Karrek Ven. The boys are students from an experimental school and the assignment is to follow the trail of Christopher Columbus on his journey to the New World. The emphasis is definitely on education, but along the way there's plenty of time for fun, with the usual teen high jinks plus whale watching, snorkeling and good old fashioned skinny dipping. WESTERN LIGHTS combines the excitement of an ocean adventure with a new approach to learning and the result is a unique and entertaining piece of cinema verite suitable for the kid in all of us. Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Western Lights, July 29, 2008
By Steven Janasik (Park Falls, WI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent portrayal of a group of young French boys who travel by way of a small schooner along the general route believed taken by Christopher Columbus when he made his maiden voyage to the New World. The film features the boys as they work aboard the sailing vessel, explore, & generally have fun during their expedition.
This movie is well worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Scenery good but.., July 30, 2008
The scenery is nice, and the cooperation that the boys show on their voyage was good, but there was nothing spectacular about this movie nor of the acting itself. The subtitles are good and automatic, but otherwise, I have nothing to really recommend for this movie.
