The Americas, or America, are lands in the Western hemisphere, also known as the New World.
In the English language, the Americas refers to the landmasses of North America and South America with their associated islands and regions, whereas America, in current usage, usually refers to the United States of America.
The Americas cover 8.3% of the Earth's total surface area (28.4% of its land area) and contain about 13.5% of the human population (about 900 million people).
The specifics of Paleo-Indian migration to and throughout the Americas, including the exact dates and routes traveled, are subject to ongoing research and discussion. The traditional theory has been that these early migrants moved into the Beringia land bridge between eastern Siberia and present-day Alaska around 40,000–17,000 years ago, when sea levels were significantly lowered due to the Quaternary glaciation. These people are believed to have followed herds of now-extinct pleistocene megafauna along ice-free corridors that stretched between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets. Another route proposed is that, either on foot or using primitive boats, they migrated down the Pacific Northwest coast to South America. Evidence of the latter would since have been covered by a sea level rise of hundreds of meters following the last ice age.

Plot: A Venezuelan family is divided politically. Worried about the critical situation in their homeland, two young Venezuelan women living in France return to Caracas. There they find their 28-year-old cousin, Gabby, who is anti-Chavez, living with her mostly pro-Chavez family. There are constant arguments which reflect the divisions in modern-day Venezuela. Each member of the family is affected by the crisis. In every bedroom, the television is always on, tuned into a channel of the same political leanings as its occupant. Contradictory around-the-clock news invades the house and feeds the arguments. Every aspect of daily life becomes political and a source of division until the day Gabby announces she is pregnant. Can the upcoming birth of this child pacify and bring this torn family together again?

Genres: Comedy,I was falling for some time
Passing others, as they'd climb
In a moment very clear
You seemed to beckon, come here dear
Emma, sure as the sun's shining on you
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma you're the one, oh
If they ever change your mind
Try to leave it all behind
If there ever comes a time
You go your way, and I'll go mine
Emma, sure as the moon circles over
Heaven knows, that's how it goes
Emma you're the one, oh
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma, you're the one, oh
