Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.

We took a really weird prop plane in Congo, because Congo has something like the worst commercial aviation safety record on the planet. Planes go down all the time, it’s really bad there. When we were trying to get from Kisangani back to Goma, we had three options: a commercial plane, a private plane, or drive. Driving was not going to work, because it takes four days through all kinds of rebel-controlled areas. And our fixer, Dan McCabe, who’s a documentary filmmaker working in the Congo, asked us: “Do you want to be in a Boeing going 500 miles an hour when you crash, or a bush plane going 75?” So we chose the bush plane.
