Over the Islands of Africa
The sounds of their names alone conjure up thoughts of pristine beaches, spices and the tales of a thousand and one nights. The five-part documentary series "Over the Islands of Africa" follows five internationally renowned photographers as they explore the islands around Africa – Zanzibar, Mauritius, Madagascar, Sao Tomé & Príncipe and Cape Verde.
The photographers stop at nothing in pursuit of spectacular perspectives for their aerial photographs, stories and portraits, making use of unusualmeans of transport, from a motorised parachute to a flying rubber boat that can land on land as well as water.
The series was supported by the MEDIA Program of the European Union and co-produced with SWR (strand "Länder, Menschen, Abenteuer") and in cooperation with ARTE. The commissioning editor was Ulrike Becker, SWR.
The five episodes premiered on ARTE in July 2011.
