Three years after Ewan McGregor and best mate Charley Boorman circumnavigated the globe on their motorcycles, the long-time friends are hitting the road again from the top of Scotland to the bottom tip of Africa. Traversing more than 24,000 kilometres of tough terrain – crossing over dangerous roads and into bandit country – Ewan and Charley set off on the adventure of a lifetime in Long Way Down. Travelling through countries including Libya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda and Malawi, the boys push themselves to the limit in extreme heat and harsh terrain. Interacting with tribesmen, a President and one unhappy elephant, Ewan and Charley experience Africa up close.
