American Center, Dhaka, will screen a documentary film titled ‘Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West’ on June 25 at its Baridhara premises in the city. Directed by Bruce Neibaur, produced by ‘Simon and Goodman Picture Company’, the film recaps the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
In 1804, two American military officers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, were given an assignment by President Thomas Jefferson: to explore the uncharted areas of the land known as ‘the Louisiana Purchase’, a massive stretch of 8,000 miles from St. Louis to the Western Coastline. Lewis and Clark hoped to find a Northwest Passage, which would link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, but along the way they discovered the sources of some of America’s greatest beauty and wealth. They also found hardship, but survived thanks to the compassion of trapper Toussaint Charbonneau and his wife Sacagawea, a Native American. Lewis and Clark were presumed dead until they made their way back to civilization in 1806, with details of one the greatest adventures in American history. Lewis & Clark was produced by National Geographic. Narrated by Jeff Bridges, this documentary records the breathtaking landscape they crossed while searching for the Northwest Passage during their expedition.
The film stars Kelly Boulware, Sonny Surowiec, Alex Rice, Gregory Paul Jackson and Travis Dugas, among others.
