Mountains of the Moon

In the 1850s two British officers, Capt. Richard Burton (Patrick Bergin) and Lt. John Speke (Iain Glen), venture to discover the source of the Nile despite warnings of great dangers ahead. Against all odds they push deeper into the magnificent untamed African wilderness where no western man had ever gone. As the difficult journey takes its toll Burton and Speke forge a strong bond that one will eventually betray while history judges the two intrepid explorers as they venture into new realms.
