Inspired by the real-life story of musicologist Louis Sarno, Kris Marshall plays Larry Whitman, an American archivist who has been recording and preserving the music of the Bayaka pygmies of Yandombe in the Central African Republic. Just as he is about to return home to raise fresh funds, he's told he's dying of a liver disease...and opts to stay in the land he loves. However, there's trouble with a predatory Chinese businessman who's after timber rights. Visually stunning, this also has its funny side as Whitman provides an off-kilter insight into jungle life.
