JU HOANSI (BOTSWANA)

Among the last indigenous people, the Ju/'Hoansi - formerly called "bushmen" - stand out. The images of them shot 30 years ago by I. Eibl-Eibesfeld contrast markedly with those taken in the twenty-first century. Social change is evident. The loss of territories, the lack of game animals and the influence of missionaries are some of the factors contributing to this change. Nevertheless, the Ju/'Hoansi have maintained the heart of their culture. This documentary shows the dramatic situation of this ancient hunter-gatherer society.
