The first expedition to find the source of a mighty river
In short: Follow filmmakers Rainer Bergomaz and Marion Pöllmann as they attempt the first documented journey to the secret source of the Essequibo, one of South America's most powerful and unexplored waterways.

This expedition provides a depiction of a remaining wilderness river on our planet. Viewers witness wildlife spectacles and the physical toll of the expedition, which included facing illness and wild animals in a remote landscape.
