Congo Bush Pilots (DVD)

Bush piloting in the Congo, a country crippled by 30 years of war and famine, may be one of the world's most hazardous professions. Brave men and women risk life and limb to transport cargo to this remote region of the world. Landing strips are often little more than pitted dirt roads and local militia is known to fire on them, so what drives them to do it? Hear their harrowing accounts and witness firsthand the courage and skill it takes to land planes on some of the world's most challenging terrain.
