The true story of a lone 14-month wagon voyage across America. Filmed by Bernie Harberts, it is a tale of water and desert, loneliness and companionship. Lakota, Christian and secular beliefs about the origin of a land. Harberts, his mule and his lens capture the essence of the American West
The Lost Sea Expedition is the true story of Bernie Harberts' 14-month voyage across the Great Plains of America in a one-mule wagon. Traveling without a film crew, sponsor or support team, the Lost Sea Expedition is composed of footage filmed by Bernie on his journey. The Lost Sea Expedition explores many elements of the Great Plains from the ancient sea that once existed there to the current drawing down of the Oglala Aquifer. It tells the tale of life and struggle on the plains. It's a tale of agriculture, religious beliefs, emptiness, loneliness, kindness, generosity and plenty of hardship. A tale of harsh weather, rough land and kind hearts. A story of determination and survival.
