This film revives one of the greatest geographical and human adventures of the 19th century : the discovery of the mysterious Nile sources. Through the vivid accounts given to us by some of the greatest explorers of the time (Speke, Burton, Grant, Stanley, Livingstone, Baker), we are able to relive the periods in which they belonged to, the diseases, the disasters and the unrelenting determination of all these great men in which their own egos were surpassed only by the magnitude of their projects.
