In the Blood

The savage beauty of Africa comes alive in this vibrant film of two hunting safaris separated by eighty years. The first, taken by Theodore Roosevelt in 1909, is captured through vintage footage and photography. The second is taken by Roosevelt's grandson in 1986, as he shoulder's the famed president's rifle and, accompanied by his young son, follows in the footsteps of elephants and crocodiles. This is the story of the beauty and danger of the hunt, the bond between a father and his son, and a young boy coming of age in the wilds of Africa.
