Mystery of the Nile

The documentary follows a journey down a river. The route runs the length of the Blue Nile. Pasquale Scaturro and Gordon Brown lead the team. Their aim is to descend the river from its source to the sea. The distance runs to more than five thousand kilometres. They meet obstacles the whole way along. The speed of the water and the falls make it dangerous. In some regions there is a security problem. In places the boats have to be carried overland. The team manages to complete the journey from end to end. No such descent had been recorded before. The film was made in the IMAX format. The images show the river and the life along it. Pasquale Scaturro and Gordon Brown appear in the forty eight minute documentary. It is an American production Jordi Llompart finished in 2005.
