Flim Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"
"Mountains of the Moon" was a film produced 1990 and was based on the true events from 1852. It was mainly about European explorers trying to find the source of the Nile River. they went on a search to Africa. on there adventure to Africa the Europeans faced many problems. the main problems were hungry, the heat, and many more. the lake they found was named Lake Victoria, there was strange because this lake was found in Africa and Victoria was the name of the British Queen. Also even after the Queen had died, the name remained the same. compared to the Africans the Europeans were very advanced in technology. there main technology was the gun. According to the movie, when the Africans first saw the gun and how it was used they were scared but yet amazed. they weren't aware of the harm it could cause. they figured that out when the African leader shot a member of his tribe. The Eur opens were later able to coqure Africa when they returned with more guns, machine guns to be exact.
