Jacques Cousteau-Жак-Ив Кусто–Ζακ Κουστώ, Le Nil–The Nile–Нил река богов–Ο Νείλος, Part 1C Murchison Falls

Ten months on this famous African river allowed the Cousteau team to study the relationships between humans and the Nile river system. In 1979, airplanes and land vehicles carried the team to the natural beauties and ancient cultures of its banks. From its source in Lake Victoria in Uganda to the Delta at Cairo, the Nile crosses marshes and falls, bringing life wherever it flows.
