This wonderful DVD does a thorough job painting a portrait and portraying the man of principal Dr. David Livingstone. Dr. Livingstone was a missionary, explorer and expedition leader. He was also author of the best-selling book “Missionary Travels And Researches In South Africa.” He was highly revered as a man who loved the African people and was strongly opposed to the slave trade popular at the time.

This documentary features old photographs, art work, beautiful scenery, and comments by several experts on the life of Livingstone, including Joan Sutherland of the David Livingstone Centre in Scotland, biographer John MacKenzie, and historian Jonathan Ingleby. Livingstone’s life is chronicled from his birth in Scotland to his education at Glasgow, his journey to Africa, marriage to Mary Moffat, the birth of his daughter Agnes, and his life until his death. His struggles are featured, including suffering from malaria and his efforts to end slave trade. His death—he was found kneeling in prayer by his bed—is examined too.

We are delighted to award this documentary our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages. Let the life of Livingstone enrich you by watching this film soon!
