The Shape of the World

Reveals how maps shape not only our sense of geography, but also our social, political, and even religious thinking.

The film crews go all over the world, from Portugal to Mexico to the Palio in Siena to the Far East. 3-disc set Released August 2009 The epic tale of mapping the globe, as seen on PBS.
