We look back to the original construction of the Suez Canal, back in 1859, to show how it first came to be built, and how now, they are planning to widen it.

It’s a major construction project, aimed at doubling the width of the Suez Canal and deepening its main waterway. 500 million cubic meters of sand and soil have already been transported from all over the world. Using unprecedented 3D images, we reveal how the canal will be widened.

This documentary was produced by Eclectic and directed by Johanna Gauterie, Richard Poisson. It was first released in 2017.
