STORYLINE

For thousands of years, the Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have lived as hunter gatherers. But now the Botswana government is effectively destroying their way of life. It is persecuting them for hunting and has threatened to cut off their precious water supply unless they move out of the game reserve which is their ancestral land. The government says it is acting in the name of development, but the Bushmen say the truth has more to do with the wild animals and diamonds that make their land so rich.
