Summary
Pathe synopsis: Southern Rhodesia - country of question-marks. How can the great river Zambesi embrace such excitement and hope and history? How long can a crisis atmosphere hang over this wonderland? Where else in the world will you find such mystery and beauty? From the great man-made lake above Kariba to the strange granite ruins of an elaborate ancient city in the mud-hut country of Zimbabwe, Pathe Pic follows the baffling question-marks, to Rhodes’ grave and the strange cave paintings in Matebeleland. And on to the Victoria Falls, the most breath-taking spectacle that Nature has ever contrived.
