Editorial Review:
Join a team of explorers on the expedition of a lifetime as they set off to become the first to navigate the Blue Nile from source to sea. The epic 3,260 mile descent down the world's greatest and deadliest river has eluded humankind for centuries - until now! Ride shotgun on the team's 16-foot rafts as they crash through the rapids in Ethiopia's desert canyons. Battle through some of the world's most extreme whitewater rapids with renowned kayaker, Gordon Brown. Over the arduous, four month journey, the team faces nearly in-surmountable challenges - from crocodile attacks to armed bandits and arrests. Through breathtaking cinematography, Mystery of the Nile reveals a wondrous region and abundant treasures, from Tissisat Falls and the wonders of Egypt to the forgotten black pyramids of Meroe and 12th century churches that were carved into sheer rock. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.
I had seen another kind of documentaries about the Nile, but none like this.

Myster of the Nile
I had read the book, but missed the movie when it was at the Detroit Science Center. Although seeing it at an IMAX Theater would have been great, the photography was unbelievable. An absolutely breathtaking film!! Well worth the cost and I will definitely share it with my kids and grandkids. 2008-10-31
