Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps with 37 war elephants is one of the greatest military feats in history. Yet where he actually crossed has been disputed for more than 2,000 years. Now a geomorphologist, a microbiologist and a team of researchers go looking for the traces of his army in the soil of the Alps. This documentary follows the expedition and tells the story of Hannibal himself. It covers his childhood under the shadow of Rome, his march from Spain across the Rhone and into the mountains, and the battle of Cannae. Which pass did Hannibal really take?
