The Ark of Lights and Shadows (2018)
They met on a Friday and got married secretly on Sunday. They fled their parents' wrath and spent their honeymoon among the cannibals in the South Seas, where they lost both their camera and their illusions. At the moment when many people would abandon filming, Martin and Osa Johnson risked their lives to bring the testimony of a diminishing wildlife. An authentic footprint of an era when filming in Africa was more dangerous than lions or malaria. Although they were celebrities admired by Chaplin and the British Royal Family, nowadays they are forgotten.
