Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

It was 1992 and everybody was against me so I got up really early and placed a call to the U.S. embassy in Bamako, the capital of Mali.... I told Scott ( was going to Timbuktu. He asked me if he could have my TV set if I didn't come back. I said yes. Then he asked me why I was going. "Because", I replied, "there's a wild goose honking in my ear...and the bastard won't shut up!"

So begins the latest gonzo journey by filmmaker Trent Harris (Rubin and Ed, Plan l0 from Outer Space), this one by plane, boat, camel, and pen. Following the wild goose, Harris travels to Timbuktu, choosing his destination in part because "it's just so damned hard to get to". Chronicling the details of his trip — along with assorted other thoughts, historical tidbits, memories, and unrelated tangents — Harris leads us on a funny and ultimately poignant trip.
