Journey to the Forgotten River (24x3)

Bemutató időpontja: 1990 Ápr 07

In a remote part of southern Africa, the crippling drought of the early 1980s caused a quiet but significant upheaval. In the African country of Botswana, there was once a paradise. But as the continent was seared, rainwater pans dried and quite mysteriously the Savuti Channel itself shrank, drained away, and died. United by a common instinct to survive, scores of animals set out in search of water. This film follows their journey, which proved to be a life-and-death struggle that brought about momentous change to a pristine landscape of forest and river.
