The World About Us

River of Death (3x3)

: 19, 1969

A hazardous dugout canoe journey through Venezuelan jungles towards the source of the Orinoco. The Guaica Indians live short and violent lives wife-stealing and feuding. But for centuries they have at least been protected from 'civilisation' by the remoteness of their jungle home. Six members of the Hovercraft Expedition brave dangerous rapids to seek out the secrets of some of the most primitive people on earth.
