This short documentary of the making of the movie Out of Africa and what the life of Karen Blixen a.k.a Isak Dinesen was about was presented as an extra on the DVD. Director Sydney Pollack, leading star Meryl Streep, score writer John Barry, Dinesen biographer Judith Thurman, and screenwriter Kurt Luedtke are among the interviewed. Meryl herself is pretty entertaining when doing sounds of vehicles or animals. So they talk about their experiences during the shoot and what they think of the times and attitudes of the period they covered in the movie. And about Blixen's relationships with the various people she shared her life with during her time in Nairobi and other places in Kenya. Nothing more to say except A Song of Africa is a very worthy view on the DVD.
