a man's quest to re-create the journey of famous explorer Stanley down the Congo River - a dangerous if not stupid adventure even in modern times. Hard to believe he made it alive, when he was in many situations that could have easily ended in disaster. I admired his determination, though I'm not sure what his his journey accomplished except to document the decay of civilization throughout the Congo region since the 1950's.
