content: A Kalahari Family is a five-part series documenting 50 years in the lives of the
Ju/'hoansi of southern Africa, from 1951 to 2000. These once independent huntergatherers
experience dispossession, confinement to a homeland, and the chaos of war.
Then as hope for Namibian independence and the end of apartheid grows, Ju/'hoansi fight
to establish farming communities and reclaim their traditional lands. The series
challenges stereotypes of "Primitive Bushmen" with images of the development projects
Ju/'hoansi are carrying out themselves.
