Africa Speaks!

Culled from footage captured by explorer Paul Hoefler during his 1928-1929 safari across Equatorial Africa--as well as a smattering of obvious back-lot scenes--this early "mondo" documentary staple was a box-office hit of its day. Ferocious lions, leaping impalas, deadly locust swarms, and plate-lipped Ubangi tribeswomen are all on display; Lowell Thomas narrates. 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
