Anselm filmed the trip by himself. His little compact camera became his companion, he kept setting it up to drive past it. To create special shots, he had to get creative and inventive. In addition to his tripod, trees, trucks and donkey carts were his helpers. Occasionally he also held the camera in hand to people on the street who enjoyed it as well. He charged the batteries with a USB charger which was fed by the hub dynamo. The documentary "Elsewhere. Alone in Africa" was made from the recordings and has been shown in over 300 German cinemas since December 13, 2018. Originally, to make a movie was never his plan.

Wow so amazing this guy got guts of steel. I can't understand how brave this guy is, or was he simply half-full. I learned a lot from this film. Africa has it's own pyramid. That is something new I learn. That is a shocking new knowledge to me. I want to do something like this so much but I am not brave enough. I have not found my bravery. I hope I find strength in me one day to do something like this. I want to take a bike and ride it across the globe.

Hi Anselm. I've lived in South Africa for over 40 years, and your trip affected me like no other. You were able to convey your feelings so movingly. Most people show the usual pictóric scenes, but for me the best moments were when you were faced with lonesomeness, fatigue, fear... That struggle was tear provoking!

"I'm no longer lonely, I'm simply alone..." I completely understood this feeling. I solo travel once a year for 2 to 3 weeks for 10 years, it's how I spend my vacation. Life is too short to wait for someone to joint my journey. This documentary was published here on October 1 2021.

It ends with a 🐂 💩 lie straight to the viewer's face. If you truly got dragged away how did he take a picture of his bicycle on the ground? If he had no SIM card how was he able to view part of the administration aspect inside the police station? It would be very easy for me to keep going with five other questions that would tear the story apart such as why did his "friends" leave him specifically on the border?

This documentary have confirmed that people are inherently good. Those smiles were magical. Truly amazing memories.

This video in its awesomeness felt like i watched it for a whole year. This is soooo amazing. Thank you for showing us Africa in its true and unfiltered nature.

I love all the people you meet! They are so kind and humble. They don't need to constantly be talking and yammering to be heard. They just smile.

one of the coolest documentaries i have ever seen... what a brave and motivated young man he is.. that is quite a journey he set out on .. each day bringing unseen new challenges and the always changing and sometimes quite dangerous situations he faced... and the time he spent alone pushing forward into the many vast and unknown places that were constantly presenting him with a kaleidoscope of changing (sometimes very dangerous) road conditions and climate changes.. just the everyday challenges he faced with each new and different environments would have sent most people over the edge and they would have quit and went home crying.. this mans epic journey is nothing short of remarkable in that he had only himself to look to many of times and find the inner strength and mindset needed to continue on and complete his goal .. it was a journey of many different challenges... it was mind blowing at times to witness the generosity of the people he came into contact with .. and the kindness they showed him is something that seems kind of rare anymore... he was a stranger to them and they always gave him some help if needed.. and maybe it was only a wave and or smile .. but those things are the ones that could keep one going at times.. all the different people he met along the way and the times they spent together although short are things and memories a person will carry with them and remember forever.. the kids were so cool... and how interested they were of him.. always smiling and laughing.. also i thought what a great job was done with and how this was filmed -edited and presented... just all around great film-work.

The faces of all those beautiful children swarming around you, melted my heart.

You are amazing Anselm! It takes heart and courage for what you have done. Most people are looking for what you have found, true happiness being alone and one with your environment. You have set the bar high, I am hoping one day to go on a long journey like yours. God bless you!
