MALE RUSSIAN SPEAKER WANTED FOR FILM EXPEDITION

In summer 2001, seven British motorcyclists and a Landrover jeep will circumnavigate the globe, crossing the two largest
continents, the former Soviet Union and the United States.One purpose of the trip is to make a film comparing and contrasting
ordinary people in both continents, their hopes and fears, dreams and aspirations at this unique time in both Continent's history.

The contributors will be the everyday people we come across, mechanics, waitresses, border-guards and so on. All will be asked the
same basics questions, How are you different from your parent's generation? Are you happy with your life? Are you optimistic about
the next century?

The volunteer's Russian must be good enough to be able to understand the answers and press them for more information.

THE ROUTE

Depart London (1st June 2001) or Turkey (late June). Then Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbeckistan, Krygistan, Kazakstan,
Russia, Siberia. Arrive Magadan around Sept 1st before close of Siberian summer.

The route in the US will be roughly Alaska (Ankorage), Oregon, California, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Kansas, Michigan,
Illinois, New York. (home Xmas 2001 or earlier)

COSTS

At this stage the documentary is not yet commissioned, though we've had serious interest.

However the expedition will be going ahead anyway so applicants must be prepared to spend a minimum of £2,000 ($4,000 US) on the
first leg. You would be free to leave the trip here or join us across America. Costs here will be less than might be expected as we
have a lot of accommodation pre-booked.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A good Russian speaker with an easy-going mentality. Volunteers must realise that large parts of the trip will be physically
arduous. The Landrover is a Series III Military Lightweight. It is closer to a WW2 Willis Jeep than a Discovery. It has no air
conditioning. River and marsh crossing can require a lot of physical effort digging/winching the jeep out. Mechanical skills will
be bonus. We will be taking no creature comforts and sleeping in the open every day.
