The World About Us: River of Death

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the people who live on it

A hazardous dugout canoe journey through Venezuelan jungles towards the source of the Orinoco.
The Guaica Indians live short and violent lives wife-stealing and feuding. But for centuries they have at least been protected from 'civilisation' by the remoteness of their jungle home. Six members of the Hovercraft Expedition brave dangerous rapids to seek out the secrets of some of the most primitive people on earth.
Written and produced by Brian Branston
