Shortly before the First World War, German African explorer and director Hans Schomburgk set out on an unprecedented expedition to West Africa to shoot films in the then German colony of Togo. More than 100 years later, following the memories of actress Meg Gehrts, documentarians traveled with a mobile cinema to the original places filmed by Schomburgk.
