Temba - kapp kapp Kairo 1958

Directed by Gunnar Melle

The purpose of this journey, the longest road trip ever made, was to provide an appropriate first impression of Africa today. The occasion was the opening of the North Cape road, which made it possible to drive from the northernmost point of Europe to southernmost point of Africa, and the journey was then thread the director's cinematic reportage of contemporary Africa which he saw and experienced that way.
