In the mid-1970s, Alan Root brought the first hot-air balloon to Africa for filming purposes, recognizing that airplanes were too fast to film animals adequately, while the noise of the slower helicopters frightened them away. A visually-stunning and amusing film is Root’s Balloon Safari, made with his wife Joan, they chronicle the arrival of the balloons, as well as the tribulations of learning to fly them. |
