[edit] Information

The Marquis begins a trip along the Orinoco River to reach its source, still as yet undiscovered. Although the sudden rising rapids prevent him from reaching his goal, this expedition does take him to faraway regions and hidden tribes of Venezuela. The film is presented in Brussels on February 19th, 1937, in the presence of King Leopold III. In some countries the film was entitled "Venezuela, ses hommes et ses paysages" (Venezuela, its people and its landscapes). The Venezuelan legation in Paris expressed their discontent, claiming the documentary would result in an erroneous image of the country considering these tribes do not represent the whole population.
