The movie is about two explorers called Richard Burton and John Speke, they were part of the Royal Geographic Society who were in that time trying to map the world, Richard and John went to Africa to find the source of Nile river, on their first try they were attacked by a group of native Africans who killed most of the people they went with as guides so they retrieved back to England, on their second coming of Africa they went even deeper on over 173 days walking down Africa to find the source of the Nile river.The Europeans had a hard experience in Africa because the type of weather and type of bugs and different animals that were dangerous another basic problem they had was the language of the continent also there were sicknesses in the continent which in England didn't have cure yet such as malaria's sickness. It is strange that the source of the Nile river is lake Victoria the name of the queen of England. it is strange because until now in century 21 is still called lake Victoria in the continent in Africa which is far away from England.The technological advance that the Europeans had over the native Africans was that they had guns and better weapons than an native African because it was like guns vs spears, so in the end the Europeans conquered Africa because of the guns they used to win it over.
