A Kalahari Family (2002)





Movie Info:

John Marshall’s five-part, six-hour opus charts his fifty-year engagement with the Ju’/hoansi bushmen of southern Africa. One of the most well-respected films in the ethnographic field, it chronicles the changing lifestyles of the bushmen during the eras of Apartheid, Namibian independence, and globalization. It’s also a detailed anthropological study of a single family over five decades. By virtue of spending so much time with the family, Marshall created a deeply moving work that broke down the myths and stereotypes of these people.
