How did the Universe and life begin? We shall visit ALMA, the largest radio-telescope in the world, where research is carried out to find out the origins of the Universe through 66 giant antennae placed in the Chilean high plateau. We’ll hear and dance a “cueca” dedicated to the Big Bang, played by a Chilean folklore group, and we shall look for life under extreme conditions in the almost Martian red waters of the Rio Tinto river, in Spain. At the La Silla Observatory, in Chile, we wonder whether it is possible that life on Earth was brought by a comet, and we shall also watch a mapuche indigenous community during the ritual del We Tripantu, that coincides with the Winter Solstice and marks the re-birth of life.

Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present. In this crossing between the future and the past, this series travels through Latin America to discover the secrets of ancient temples devoted to stars in the Universe and to visit the world’s largest astronomical observatories with their cutting-edge technology, along with outstanding scientists. This trip will show us how the cosmos inspired, and continues to inspire, humanity and the arts.

To know the Universe is to know ourselves. Because the calcium in our bones and the iron in our blood came to us through the explosion of a star, thousands of years ago. Because we are all Sons of the Stars.
