Filmed over a four year span between 1924 and 1927, this rare documentary follows the world-famous explorers, Martin and Osa Johnson, on their second trip to the continent. Their goal: to chronicle the life of the mighty lion (or, in the native tongue, \"simba\".) Primarily filmed while on foot safaris using a tripod, the Johnsons' up close and personal encounters with the wild beasts of Africa still have the power to shock and amaze. In the movie's most memorable sequence, Osa brings down a charging rhinoceros with one well-aimed shot. In addition to its spectacular thrills, \u003ci\u003eSimba\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable historical document, capturing the lost cultures of the Boran, Samburu, Turkana and Meru tribes. Martin \u0026amp; Osa would return to the big screen in 1930 with their first sound film, \u003ci\u003eAcross the World with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fully-authorized edition of \u003ci\u003eSimba: The King of the Beasts\u003c\/i\u003e is issued in conjunction with the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum.
