Through wars of worlds – invaded by

Ants. Killer ants that is. I digitized an episode of “Escape” entitled “Leinengen vs. The Ants.” It was an action/adventure show. The episode was about a plantation in the Amazon about to be over-run by flesh eating ants that destroy anything and everything in their path. Leinengen refused to leave his plantation, despite the warnings from the County Commissioner. Leinengen had many defenses, in order to protect his plantation involving water, ditches, and fire. I was totally engrossed in the story, literally on the edge of my seat, eager to find out what was going to happen next.

Listening to this episode helped me understand the Indiana Jones movies. I knew they were based on old adventure serials, but I did not fully understand what that meant until today. Having a basic understanding of a genre and listening to an example of it are two very different things. It was fascinating to actually experience the source material. I love my internship.
