Rob Perkins' "Crocodile River" Award Screening in NYC January 21, 2006

The Crocodile River explores how crossing international borders and emotional boundaries enables two people of vastly different cultures one North American and one African to find common ground. This contemporary film begins when naturalist/explorer/filmmaker Robert Perkins embarks on a ten-week exploration of the Limpopo Riverin southern Africa with Bonus Lunga, a Zimbabwean man who had never left his small village on the shores of LakeCariba. Perkinss initial goal is to investigate the Africa behind the headlines, but he soon finds himself challenging his own assumptions and stereotypes about Africans. Both travelers come to unique discoveries about the river, its region, its people and each other. The result is a remarkable tale of friendship and the discovery of joy, resilience, and human connection amidst political and economic suffering.Submitted by Eventful on behalf of docued
