synopsis
Follow father and son explorers down the same treacherous African paths in a remarkable documentary that traces Theodore Roosevelt's 1909 expedition though vintage footage and photographs before moving forward in time to 1986 to follow the former president's great-grandson through the same wondrous land. Armed with his great-grandfather's rifle and with his young son by his side, the descendent of the twenty-sixth president traces the footsteps of elephants and crocodiles as he bonds with his young son and teaches him about the dangers of the hunt.
