In his travel report “Deep in Africa”, GRENZGANG initiator Hardy Fiebig sets out from the island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean to follow in the footsteps of slave traders and explorers to the headwaters of the Nile. After meeting the mountain gorillas, he travels to the metropolis of Nairobi, to the summit of Kilimanjaro and back to the Indian Ocean. The trip offers an interplay of chasing events, a thoroughly African safari full of hardships and humor, steered by miracles and small catastrophes, shaken by strokes of fate, but gifted by a paradisiacal nature and impressive people. The open-minded traveler experiences cheerful but also tragic encounters with traditional nomads and farmers, rebels and smart capital city residents, in which he lets the audience participate with his sparkling rhetoric and sensitive photographs. Fiebig immerses himself in people's everyday lives like no one else. East Africa is dropping its masks!
