Africa's Last Romantic: The Films, Books and Expeditions of John L.
Brom captures the drama and excitement of John L. Brom's film
expeditions from 1949 to 1962 through sub-Saharan Africa. Brom was
the only explorer to follow the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley
and in a documentary interviewed the two last survivors of
Stanley's expeditions from 1874 to 1890. In 1955 he also
interviewed the famous nineteenth-century East African slave trader
Tippu Tip's grandson, who defended his grandfather's trade. Brom's
expedition was the basis for his bestseller 20,000 Miles in the
African Jungle, which was translated into eleven languages. Brom
managed to interview and film the rulers and tribes he encountered
before they were decimated in the civil wars of the Congo after
independence, and his historic films are now preserved in the Human
Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution. Over 500
articles were published on Brom's work on both sides of the
Atlantic during his lifetime. Africa's Last Romantic is a useful
addition to college courses in Third World cinema, cinema studies,
and African history.
