Congorilla

This documentary features the adventures of Martin and Osa Johnson as they travel through Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and the Congo Basin. It includes remarkable footage of wildlife, such as zebras in the Serengeti and charging rhinos in Southern Somalia. Viewers can also expect thrilling encounters with crocodiles and hippos along the Nile River.

A significant portion of Congorilla is dedicated to the Johnsons' seven months spent in the Ituri Forest, where they documented the village life of the Mbuti people. The filmmakers faced challenges such as humidity that affected their equipment, yet they persevered to capture a rich tapestry of cultural and natural history. For collectors, this documentary represents a milestone in film history, being one of the earliest examples of sound in nature filmmaking.
