The year is 1916, and as a captain in the Belgian Army, Young Indiana Jones travels through East Africa on a vital military mission. But disease rages everywhere, and the cure depends on one profoundly inspiring doctor: Albert Schweitzer. A man the natives call in Chapter 11: “Oganga, The Giver & Taker of Life!”
The Dr's statement about allowing the masses to dictate your beliefs and decisions is really a strong message today. Listening to your conscience instead of just following orders goes against most everything taught now.
Would seem the morals of the Colonial age were easily bent out of shape by most of Europe going to war over Pieces of AFRICA(or any were not already controlled) Germany, France, Britain, Dutch, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Turkey(Ottomans). Mexico or any other small Nation was up for grabs. A nice Dream but far from the realities of the Time.
*Fun Fact:* Dr. Albert Schweitzer earned the money to start his hospital by playing the Organ at concerts. After he was detained and sent back to Europe he applied for French citizenship in 1919 (both of his parents were born in France and moved to Germany). He then went back to playing the organ just so he could raise enough funds to go back to Gabon and start up the hospital again in 1924. In 1952 he earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "Reverence for Life." He was an intriguing man.
In the 1950's when I was 9 years old we learned about Dr. Albert Schweitzer and he became my hero from then on. I wanted to join him when I grew up and assist him in his hospital. Of course this did not happen, but he was my hero.
I didn't want to watch this entire series, just the best ones, so I looked up a list of the top 10 best episodes and started watching them. This episode was not on the list, so I don't know what possessed me to check it out, but I did. After watching it, I decided to screw the list and watch the whole series. This episode is amazing and belongs on all the lists.
Hmm. Interesting how this episode and this one before it (S2 03) shed light on something that usually gets left out of histories of World War I, and that's the importance of native African troops to both sides. Of course, in these chronicles, they're generally on the winning side, but their overall casualties must've been horrendous, no matter whose flag they fought under. As a commenter noted about another episode, the Congo was the personal fief of King Leopold II of Belgium, during which time (1885-1908), its people were subjected to an especially brutal regime, mutilations and killings being common. Whatever would have persuaded them to fight for such a feared and hated regime is a mystery to me. Hats off to them, however late, for their bravery.
I would like to add something to what I said 3 months ago that is in fact interesting and that is that Dr. Albert Schweitzer was born in Kaysersberg in France in 1875. The town was first mentioned in 1227, when Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor purchased the castle and gave orders to refortify it. During the Middle Ages, Kaysersberg, a member of the Décapole, prospered. In 1648, the city became a part of France, although most inhabitants continued to speak German. From 1871 to 1918 and (again from 1940 to 1944) Kaysersberg belonged to Germany. If he had been born 3 or 4 years earlier, he would have been French and not German in this movie. 🙂 I must say I have enjoyed watching these wonderful adventures of young Indie once again. I suppose we need to bring our youth back to ourselves one way or another, even if it is through fiction. Thank you once more for posting.
I love the way they weave our favorite action hero into logical history (in a fictional, but factual way). Reading the comments below, these episodes capture history fans interests. That, is entertainment!
Kai, it's hard to believe an individual can hide so much pain, sadness, and above all, that hopelessness inside that would drive him to take his own life. I've been there, I know. To the world, we are the model all others want to follow. But inside, a voice that convinces, there is, no way out. I was saddened, after learning Ronny Courttuere committed suicide by hanging at age 48 back in 2000, less than a month before his 49th birthday. His character in this series was true to life. He was born in Belgium, lived in France.
When people in Hollywood or the music industry or politics commit suicide I always assume it is because 1. They were murdered by the cabal that gave them their wealth power and position 2. They can no longer live with what they had to do in order to get their wealth power and position The human trafficking HAS A HUGE “demand” to account for so much “supply” of missing women and children every single year, year after year… There’s just far too much damning information In the public square that anyone serious about actual journalism or authentic justice who is looking at it WOULD FEEL COMPELLED to agree- The systems in place to protect all of us? We gave them secrecy so they could better protect us… BUT IT IS OBVIOUS for years now that THOSE systems Cia, fbi, nsa, atf,dea, etc… too many to name anymore and I think they just created yet another secret quasi military secret agency to do yet another bs public aim but in fact all they’re doing is trafficking in people & intentionally destroying the previously free world. children service division ARE THE ONES FACILITATING THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
this was a good episode about the futility of some people who just never learn to live and let live. they should stop preaching that we can win this war. in war, everyone involved in it, willingly or just in the wrong place, and caught up, in the middle of both opposing sides, loses out. in war, nobody actually wins. the dead are still dead, and everyone, involved, directly or indirectly loses something. and all you can take with you when your dead, is how you are remembered, by the people you encountered throughout your time here ? if they are still around, when you aren't, that is. and the real irony is that, the people, who start the wars, or profit from them, very seldom get killed in them
I love bond Indy forms with the doctor and his wife; it kills me that the two of them are sent to a prison camp just for being German: the Secne when they say goodbye is so touching: even though Indy knows he will proably never see them again; but he can't help but smile, for they thaugt him something he will never forget as long as helives, the actions of a countery don't make a man; the actions of the men who make up the countery do: and even when countery is involed in something so heinous s Germany was; the will always be those who do what's right.
When I was younger I watched series and though i6t was awful but looking at it today, I see the detail and skill that has gone in to it as it was made on a very low budget but well written and made.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless us all, I learned war is rong we are all the same we want freedom peace and love and joy it doesn't matter what county you are from.
Hello, you ! That was a reference to S1E3("The Perils of Cupid")'s first act, back when he was a kid. I strongly recommand you to watch and memorize it if you can handle the lack of action, as it's a nice one. ^^
17:48 - The African Soldier would've lived if someone jumped in to save him. That waterfall wasn't HIGH enough to be deadly. I'm guessing 20 foot fall maximum. Plus the water breaks the 20ft fall.
They're found in Africa and on most other continents. And here's a limerick by the Great American Pelicanologist, Ogden Nash: "A marvelous bird is the pelican, / Its bill can hold more than its belly can; / It can take in its beak / Enough food for a week, / Though I surely don't see how the hell he can!"
Obviously you mean to ask if the series had Indy meet Einstein… He met Thomas Edison in episode 6… Id have preferred he meet Nikolai Tesla 😊 an actual genius and he, unlike Einstein was not a perverted freak who sold out like Einstein& Edison did.
In truth with a few exceptions the Germans actually treated black African peoples better than the British and French did in terms of treating them like fellow human beings. British people, particularly Boers in South Africa were WAY worse.
Ironically, Indy is in the Belgian army, and the Belgians were notoriously cruel to the Africans. Realistically, you'd think that Africans pressed into the Belgian army would have been more likely to turn their guns on the Belgians than to fight the Germans.
It wouldn't be the first time the British fought the British (American Revolution for example) but as perana73 is inferring, the Boers were actually Dutch. The Boer Wars were the territorial conflicts between the British on the Cape of Good Hope and the Dutch Boers who lived further inland. If it had to be decided who was worse towards the African then it would be the Boers as one of their reasons for independence was the right to own slaves. The British eventually forced the Boers to give up slavery via economic starvation only for them to switch to "indentured servitude" (which was essentially slavery). As for the British they were arguably just as bad due to their expansive conquest of Africa and unnecessarily forcing people groups to join the empire. Even the conquest of the Boers was unjustified except as a way of taking over the gold mines in the region. perana73 knows what he's talking about. Over all, the conquest of Africa was awful no matter who it was that was conquering.
Actually no. The Germans were in fact some of the worst of the colonists in Africa. They committed actual genocide down there against the Herero and Nama people. Look up Lothar Von Throtha, who ordered the genocide to be carried out.

@timgega5930 Your welcome, Tim!
...and an excellent Organist. His African people loved to listen to him practice. They called the Organ his Magic Box.

The chain of command is a ridiculous joke.
*The horrifyingly dangerous thing is the chain of obedience.*
I would say it the best episode in the entire series. Rich in philosophy and a decent soundtrack 👍
Agreed.
Powerful in meaning! It is a good reminder of what Dr Schitzer had decided as well.
Society does not want thinking men to arrive at their own conclusions. The same can be said about social media. Listen for it on the river.

Oh, please court marshal me for pulling off a successful attack.

Very interesting history lesson. Thank you.
And yes, we should educate our children about our history. This show is a good start.
I love the way they weave our favorite action hero into logical history (in a fictional, but factual way). Reading the comments below, these episodes capture history fans interests. That, is entertainment!
Love this series enjoying all the way ❤
indy is like forrest gump. dude has met everyone lol
Except Forrest Gump
We need more movies with grand messages like this nowadays
BANNER O'OIL IN THE BUSH DADDY'O !
When i was a kid i didnt almost know what was happening, i always felt wront but now ive seeing it again and holy molly this show is awesome.
1:28:00 A very moving moment, when "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" comes on . . . profound; a brilliant interpolation.
Thank you for letting us know the title, I've heard it so many times but didn't know the name.
Very much appreciated. 🙏🙏
1:07:54 for several minutes is just pure enlightened wisdom
So sad Remie’s actor committed suicide

The human trafficking HAS A HUGE “demand” to account for so much “supply” of missing women and children every single year,
year after year…
There’s just far too much damning information In the public square that anyone serious about actual journalism or authentic justice who is looking at it WOULD FEEL COMPELLED to agree-
The systems in place to protect all of us?
We gave them secrecy so they could better protect us…
BUT IT IS OBVIOUS for years now that
THOSE systems
Cia, fbi, nsa, atf,dea, etc… too many to name anymore and I think they just created yet another secret quasi military secret agency to do yet another bs public aim but in fact all they’re doing is trafficking in people & intentionally destroying the previously free world.
children service division ARE THE ONES FACILITATING THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
Tragic when there is nothing else in one's life...he seemed to be so much more capable than just performing!
Absolutely amazing show. And there's so many episodes! I love it.
The whole segment on Schweitzer was incredibly moving, fictionalized or not . . . .
Wow!!! Fantastic episode that says so much about the beauty of humanity exhibited in two people!!!
this was a good episode about the futility of some people who just never learn to live and let live. they should stop preaching that we can win this war. in war, everyone involved in it, willingly or just in the wrong place, and caught up, in the middle of both opposing sides, loses out. in war, nobody actually wins. the dead are still dead, and everyone, involved, directly or indirectly loses something. and all you can take with you when your dead, is how you are remembered, by the people you encountered throughout your time here ? if they are still around, when you aren't, that is. and the real irony is that, the people, who start the wars, or profit from them, very seldom get killed in them
Then, the choice is to just let them get away with their greed, time after time?
no wonder the native people called them a god; for them he was answer to their prayers:an unkown being of unknown orign their to heal; not harm
10:20 " . . . where you will pick up a boat . . . ." Ooh! Ooh! Ooooooooohhhh! THE AFRICAN QUEEN ! Yahoo!
I love bond Indy forms with the doctor and his wife; it kills me that the two of them are sent to a prison camp just for being German: the Secne when they say goodbye is so touching: even though Indy knows he will proably never see them again; but he can't help but smile, for they thaugt him something he will never forget as long as helives, the actions of a countery don't make a man; the actions of the men who make up the countery do: and even when countery is involed in something so heinous s Germany was; the will always be those who do what's right.

My favorite episode!
Only Remy can still be fat after an expedition like that
Great episode!
Reverence for life.
Maxim. "The devils paintbrush". That what the Germans called it.
6:13 Indiana “gunpowder” jones
More should be produced
Closing music: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (J. S. Bach)
The sweetest music ever.
Lovely and inspiring
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless us all, I learned war is rong we are all the same we want freedom peace and love and joy it doesn't matter what county you are from.
Who's picture does Indy have in his locket? I've been trying to remember but can't.
Hello, you ! That was a reference to S1E3("The Perils of Cupid")'s first act, back when he was a kid. I strongly recommand you to watch and memorize it if you can handle the lack of action, as it's a nice one. ^^
the russian princess from episode 2 or 3
Austrian Princess sophie archfike Ferdinand was her father that was assinated as well his wife it kicked off the starting off world war 1
Marion, to whom he was later married.
how on earth do you tell who is German and who is not other than the occasional cap cockade
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
Disappointed that it wasn’t captioned in compare with other episodes.
The soliloquies go hard in this episode.
Love that song, absolutely beautiful!! What is it called???
Is the officer who have Indy those pins, star in Force 10 of Navarone?
Why does the African sound like Keith David? I just noticed
17:48 -
The African Soldier would've lived if someone jumped in to save him. That waterfall wasn't HIGH enough to be deadly. I'm guessing 20 foot fall maximum. Plus the water breaks the 20ft fall.
35:57 Yup, the "African Queen" fer shure . . . although Charlie Allnut is looking a little the worse for the wear here.
the natives of Africa at least most were German the war in Africa lasted longer then the war in Europe by stealing ammo weapons and clothes.
Captions?
1:06:17 Is that a “real” pelican?
They're found in Africa and on most other continents. And here's a limerick by the Great American Pelicanologist, Ogden Nash:
"A marvelous bird is the pelican, / Its bill can hold more than its belly can; / It can take in its beak / Enough food for a week, / Though I surely don't see how the hell he can!"
Did Indiana Jones ever meet with Albert Einstein?
Obviously you mean to ask if the series had Indy meet Einstein…
He met Thomas Edison in episode 6…
Id have preferred he meet Nikolai Tesla 😊 an actual genius and he, unlike Einstein was not a perverted freak who sold out like Einstein& Edison did.
not in this show, but in one of the 1990s novels, he did meet him. I think it was the last one published, "Secret of the Sphinx" by Max McCoy.

@@BurtonBrewster That must be why Austin Power's fajah hated them so.
