greatest and most deadly river, the Blue Nile. For 114 days, a team of explorers

challenges as they make their way along all 3,260 miles of the river to become
the first in history to complete a full descent of the Blue Nile from source to

Amharic Kids Review
This is the book from the IMAX movie of the same name. While the DVD shows all
countries in equal proportion the book concentrates on Ethiopia and descibes the
interactions with the Ethiopians they come across. The book gives the behind the
scenes details that are missing from the movie.
