Description: The expedition report documents the first south-to-north crossing of Brazilian Guiana. Between 1935 and 1937, the German geologist and zoologist Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel (who also authored a book of the same name) explored a previously completely unexplored jungle region by first navigating the Amazon and then its tributary, the Rio Jary, all the way up to Guayana. Among other things, the film depicts the jungle life of the Oayana and Oayapi. These two Indian tribes, whose culture had remained at the Neolithic stage, were believed to be extinct until that time.
Directed by Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel.
