Phänomen ÄQUATOR: Wenn die Sonne den Schatten raubt | XXL Doku

This documentary embarks on a fascinating journey along the 40,000-kilometer-long line of life, exploring the unique natural wonders of the globe. It focuses on the physical phenomena of the equatorial region, where twice a year the sun reaches its zenith, momentarily erasing all shadows. The various episodes take us from the paradisiacal atolls of Kiribati, battling rising sea levels, to the snow-capped peaks of Ecuador and the deep rainforests of Yasuní National Park. In Kenya, the dramatic state of species conservation is revealed in the desperate attempt to save the northern white rhinoceros from extinction. As marine biologists in the Maldives fight against the dying coral reefs, the fragility of the ecological balance in this sun-drenched zone becomes clear. This scientifically grounded documentary intertwines geographical discoveries with the personal stories of people dedicated to protecting these threatened paradises.
