Come join us and Red Bull as we bring CONGO: The Grand Inga Project. It chronicles the trip of kayaker Steve Fisher and his elite expedition team as they battle seemingly insurmountable obstacles, navigate through the political red tape of a Central African country and face their own worst fears in an attempt to be the first explorers ever to survive the torrential, dirty and vicious Inga Rapids in Congo. “It was easily the closest I've ever come to dying,” Fisher said, after the expedition. This event is brought to you FREE OF CHARGE by Red Bull!
