Wheels Across Africa adventure travelogue expedition 1930 Dodge trucks film DVD

Description: Wheels Across Africa " width="100%" height="90" border="0"> Wheels Across Africa DVD Video Description Mr. Armand Denis, filmmaker of Goona-Goona, and Wild Cargo, and his wife, Mrs. Leila Roosevelt Denis, a cousin of the United States President, had already travelled around the world in a 24,000 mile expedition in 1933. In 1935 he filmed their overland trek from Belgium through N. Africa and, across the width of Africa on to the Indian ocean. This expedition of over 40,000 miles total used a Dodge standard sedan and two Dodge trucks. This amazing film will thrill any fan of Indiana Jones-era travelogues. Well filmed and interesting sequences feature the exotic city of Fez, Tuareg tribespeople, and even getting stuck in snow in the Atlas Mountains. They then cross the Sahara carrying an amazing amount of gasoline/supplies/film gear, getting stuck in the loose sands quite often. Eventually they reach central Africa, the Congo river and onto the savannahs of Kenya. An astonishing feat for that time frame with only an unsupported three vehicle caravan. (51 min) Bonus film: Wheels Across the Andes This film covers an expedition by Armand Denis in Dodge trucks across the Andes in 1947.
