Synopsis

Chronicles the lives of the Ju/'hoansi, more commonly known as "bushmen," of the Kalahari desert, in southwest Africa. During the period of 1992-2000, Namibian independence attracted vast amounts of international aid, but development programs no longer benefit Ju/'hoansi farms. We witness the power of the Bushman myth, belief that Ju/'hoansi live uniquely in harmony with nature, and are born to hunt. Promised great wealth, Ju/'hoansi vote to establish a nature conservancy. When their profits are a meager 75 Namibian dollars ($10.50 US) each, Ju/'hoansi ask, Where is all the money going? This is part five of a five-part, six-hour series.
