Passion for Life

S1, E2: The travels of young Indiana Jones take him to the African savannah of Kenya where former President Theodore Roosevelt leads a safari to collect game for the Smithsonian Institution. The impressionable Indy makes his own trek into the African bush, and befriends a young boy, Meto, from a local tribe. Together, Indy and Meto utilize their understanding of the ecosystem to locate a rare species of oryx that had eluded Roosevelt’s party. From Africa to Europe, Indy is soon in the bustling streets of Paris as he struggles to get out from under the thumb of his strict tutor, Miss Seymour. Finding a new companion in the form of a young American artist named Norman Rockwell, Indy sneaks away to the bright and energetic Paris art scene where new innovators like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque vie for influence with established masters like Edgar Degas.
