1955, Kenya. A Group Of Four Acquaintances Set Out To Drive From Nairobi To London, Via The Sahara Desert, In A 8 Horse-power Morris Traveller. Under The Leadership Of Alan Cooper, A Down-on-his-luck Farmer, The Group Was Made Up Of A Worldly Field Biologist Who Recorded The Whole Trip On Her 8mm Cine Camera, A Genteel Schoolmistress Of Uncertain Age In Search Of Romance, And A 17-year-old Boy Whose Mother Had Insisted That The Trip Would Make A Man Of Him. What United Them Was A Desire For Adventure.
