Description

In this nonfiction joyride, Bertha Benz and her sons drive across Germany in the worlds first automobile.

Its 1888 and Bertha Benzs husband, Karl, has invented the prototype Benz motorwagen. But the German government declares the vehicle illegal, and the church calls it the devils work. Unbeknownst to her husband, Bertha steals away with her two sons and drives nearly one hundred miles to prove just how amazing the motorwagen is. Berthas mechanical savvy gets the boys to Grandmas house safely, and the remarkable mother/son road trip reduces global concern about moving vehicles.
