Essequibo expedition filmed for German TV documentary

A successful expedition earlier this year to trace the source of the Essequibo River is the subject of a documentary being produced for German Public TV.

A one-hour version of “Expedition Essequibo” was presented on Monday at the residence of the European Union Ambassador to a specially invited audience, which learned of the travails of the 14-member party that undertook the trip from March to May this year.

The full length documentary, being produced by Blue Paw Artists, is to be broadcast in spring 2014 in Germany and France.

The Guyanese-German team, the release said, was the first modern equipped team to follow the Essequibo River
