The film, a documentary, shot in then state-of-the art Ferrania Color in Northern Africa, was produced by the Istituto LUCE and was distributed by DEAR Film. It was screened at the Venice Film Festival from 1 to 30 September 1951.[3][4] In 2018 it was screened at the Crema Film Festival.[5]
The film documents a trip by car from Tripoli, Libya to Mogadishu, Somalia, covering the natural landscape and wildlife and documenting various civilizations and local customs along the way.
