They keep these HIDDEN in CAMEROON 🇨🇲[S7-E68]
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This Season 7 episode follows a motorcycle ride from Banyo, in northern Cameroon, to Foumban. Along the way, the journey leads to a remarkable discovery: large bronze statues being made in a small village, out of sight behind houses.
About this film
The episode combines a point-to-point ride across Cameroon with a visit prompted by what the rider finds along the way. Its central story is the contrast between the stated journey from Banyo to Foumban and the unexpected sight of huge bronze statues being made in a village that the description does not name. The statues are presented as examples of exceptional craftsmanship, making this both a motorcycle-travel episode and a record of a discovery encountered during the trip. It belongs to Season 7, “Return to Africa,” as part of Itchy Boots’ continuing travel series.
The journey
The route given for the episode runs from Banyo, in the north of Cameroon, to Foumban. The description does not specify roads, distance, riding conditions or intermediate stops, so the journey is best understood through its stated endpoints and the detour in attention that gives the film its subject. Rather than focusing only on reaching Foumban, the episode pauses on a local discovery: bronze works being produced in a small village, concealed behind houses. That shift from onward travel to close observation is the episode’s defining progression.
People, places and moments
The available account identifies Banyo and Foumban, but leaves the village where the statues are made unnamed. It describes the sculptures as huge bronze works and calls them masterpieces, while emphasizing the skill involved in their creation. No further details are provided about the makers, the process, or how the discovery came about, so the film’s appeal rests on the combination of an African motorcycle journey and an encounter with an unexpected example of local craftsmanship. Viewers looking for a route guide or detailed account of the statue-making process should note that the description does not promise either.
