The “Champagne Safari” was a daring 1,200-mile expedition across northern Canada backed by millionaire Charles Bedaux. To make the 1934 journey, Bedaux brought along five Citroen tanks, 130 horses, kegs of champagne, tons of gourmet French food and Oscar-winning cameraman Floyd Crosby… A fascinating portrait of the enigmatic, megalomaniacal American entrepreneur Charles Bedaux, a man who had a tremendous effect on the rise of the Nazis to power. Includes Crosby’s rare footage, re-enactments, archival photos and interviews.
