Masters of the Congo Jungle

The wildlife and indigenous population of the Congo is the subject of this documentary, "Masters of the Congo Jungle" (1958) which was one of the very earliest to bring the ferocity of the jungle to the Western world. Narrated by Academy Award winner Orson Welles, the film shows lions, gorillas, zebras, hippos and mating birds. Following local customs, which may or may not have been staged for the camera, adds to the energy of this informational and entertaining presentation.
