In 1995, I traveled deep into the African jungle… searching for people who could read a forgotten script. This film follows that journey through Ivory Coast and Guinea, into remote villages and one of the last great forests of West Africa. 0:00 The Lost Script 0:59 A Question That Started It All 3:41 Grand Bassam Ghosts of the Past 5:28 Abidjan – A Different Africa 7:02 Along the Atlantic Coast 9:22 Leaving the Coast Behind 9:59 Into the Jungle 13:25 Missionaries in the Jungle 17:18 The Sacred Mountain of the Dan 20:06 Mask Race 24:45 The First Days in Guinea 26:09 The Search Begins 27:31 Deep in the Forest 31:35 The Bridge to Koima 33:54 Among the Loma 34:35 A Vanishing Script 38:13 The Final Question
