Synopsis

A study of the crocodiles at Murchison Falls in Uganda, by Armand and Michaela Denis. The Denis's build a camoflage raft and travel upstream towards the Murchison Falls, filming the wildlife that they encounter. They spend time photographing hippopotamus and examining their behaviour. Once at the falls they make a photographic study of the crocodiles there. They examine in detail the behaviour of the crocodile hatchlings, which the couple have encouraged to hatch. Armand challenges people's pre-conceptions of crocodiles and expresses his dismay at the diminishing natural world.
