QUEST: for George Dibbern an Episodic Series About George Dibbern (1889 – 1962) Sailor- Philosopher and Self-Declared World Citizen, Author of Quest QUEST: for George Dibbern an episodic series about George Dibbern (1889 – 1962) sailor- philosopher and self-declared world citizen, author of Quest. QUEST: FOR GEORGE DIBBERN inspires the mind and spirit as it wrestles with realms both political and personal. Quest is first depicted as a book-on-film as Dibbern sails away from pre-Nazi Germany. The later three seasons uncover Dibbern’s birth to death story in a documentary-style exposé adapted from Erika Grundmann’s Dark Sun: Te Rapunga and the Quest of George Dibbern. Ms. Grundmann gives a decade of her life following Dibbern’s path around the world, honestly reporting on his philosophy and adventures, his friendships and correspondents, which include famed author Henry Miller, as well as Dibbern’s wife and daughters. Born in 1889 Germany Dibbern inherits a love for boating and he gave his life to traveling across oceans. George Dibbern searches for human understanding in the face of rising fascism as he explores the beauty and wonderment of Earth. While George Dibbern garnered modest fame as the first self-proclaimed “citizen of the world” who used his boat-without-a-port to promote brotherhood and peace this episodic series is a celebration of humanity, the free Spirit and the power of writing. OUTLINE SEASON 1- 3 Centers on QUEST by George Dibbern with a prologue and thirty-one chapters, taking audiences from 1929 to 1940, from Germany to New Zealand. SEASON 4 - 6 Shifts to DARK SUN - TE RAPUNGA & THE QUEST OF GEORGE DIBBERN where Erika Grundmann reveals the full account of Dibbern's life as she retraces his voyage and life around the globe. PROLOGUE: Erika Grundmann hears about Quest at a dinner with friends. Henry Miller reaches out by letter to George during his internment. The seeds of the later half of the series are set before we open Quest. 2 CHAPTER ONE: Berlin, 1929 The story begins before dawn on George's last day on the job building a road to a cemetery.

"If we believe, that good is a force ..." 7 QUEST QUOTES “To live life to its fullest, not to anchor but to go on, that is the liberation and the freedom the sea gives.” - George Dibbern “There are some people one knows without ever having seen them before, with whom one, without further formality, because it is a waste of time, immediately speaks of that which seems most important at the moment; it may be art, science, religion, love. Or does not speak at all because each understands the other, and does as a matter of course the thing he would consider impossible at any other time, with any other person. There is a power from outside which drives us, under whose force friendships are recognized, crimes committed, and marriages closed.” - George Dibbern, Quest, page 106 “No, our trip is only a means to an end; the adventure lies in the sail through the ocean of the spirit, to find a sea (see) way to God. No fear must I have. I must sail into the unknown [with] … a heart full of warm love, love for men, for the world, for beauty, purity, truth, which we call God. Thus it is; and so let come what will. And now may the bird of my longing spread its wings to a flight across the big ocean.

Skipper George Dibbern, along with Roy Murdock and Eileen Morris, had started their adventure in Auckland, New Zealand almost two years earlier.

It was July 1, 1937. By late afternoon, with proper clearance, Te Rapunga lay silent alongside Enterprise Wharf. Her crew had been whisked off to the hospitality of the Royal Victoria YC.
