    Luis Trenker plays a heroic German doctor in Africa

    A German doctor in Africa discovers and proves the efficacy of a cure for sleeping sickness- a serum called `Germanin'- despite British harassment during and after World War One. Made during World War Two, this movie – with strong anti-British undertones – features the famous Austrian mountain climber Luis Trenker in the role of the German doctor.

    • Goofs
      Unlike in the movie the medicine Suramin was only publicly released (as "Germanin") in 1924 due to economical reasons. In the movie however it was blocked by the British colonial power and destruction of the medical equipment.
