- 1980 ----- color ----- 62 min ----- 16mm
- (Great Railway Journeys of the World series) Historian Michael Wood travels on the Blue Train, the most luxurious train in the world, and follows the trail of the empire builder, Cecil Rhodes, from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. His journey takes him through the great wilderness of the Karoo and the diamond fields of Kimberley to the gold city of Johannesburg and its sprawling offspring, Soweto. He sees, at first hand, how the settling of South Africa has produced apartheid. Leaving South Africa, Wood travels through Botswana around the edge of the Kalahari and into a war. During filming in December 1979, Zimbabwe-Rhodesia was still a battlefield as the politicians argued out a cease-fire agreement in London.
