The Atlantic

About This Movie

The Atlantic (1995) is this quietly powerful documentary that takes you through the rugged landscapes and vibrant cultures of the islands scattered across the Atlantic. The tone is contemplative; it feels less like a straightforward narrative and more like a mosaic of island life. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the stories of the islanders, their struggles, and their triumphs. What stands out are the actual voices of the people, sharing tales that feel deeply personal and real. Rather than flashy visuals or over-the-top effects, it relies on the raw beauty of the islands and the sincerity of its subjects. A fascinating look at a part of the world that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves.
