In 1912, shortly after losing his bid to spend a third term as
American President to Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt with his
son Kermit, a Brazilian guide and a band of camaradas set off deep
into the Amazon jungle and a very uncertain fate. Although
Roosevelt did eventually return from THE RIVER OF DOUBT, he and his
companions faced treacherous cataracts as well as the dangerous
indigenous population of the Amazon. He became severely ill on the
journey, nearly dying in the jungle from a blood infection and
malaria. A mere five years later Roosevelt did die of related
issues. One extraordinary factor is the resistance and disbelief
the well-respected Roosevelt faced upon what should have been a
triumphant return. The region was considered so dangerous that most
reputable exploration societies considered Roosevelt's discoveries
improbable. The Amazon emerges as a world unconstrained by the
rules of civilisation, a place where an ex-president becomes just
another creature struggling to survive.
