	Movies - Mountains of the Moon

This 1990 film depicts the journey of Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke in their expedition to central Africa which culminated in the discovery of the source of the Nile River. The expedition led to a bitter rivalry between the two men. The film stars Patrick Bergin as Burton and Iain Glen as Speke.

The film should not be regarded as a particularly accurate portrayal of the events within. Burton, one of the foremost linguists of his day, only ever speaks to Africans he meets through an interpreter and for some reason is portrayed as Irish.
