In this wildlife drama, a worsening dry season in the Kalahari Desert leaves prides, packs and herds to rely on the power of family to survive.

Филмът отвежда зрителите в света на семейство сурикати, водени от смелата Клинки, и ни показва как малките животинки се справят с ежедневните си проблеми в пустинята Калахари в продължение на цяла година. Характерното за тези животни е, че семействата винаги са много сплотени, ловуват заедно, защитават територията си и се предпазват един друг от хищници. За тях семейството е най-важното нещо.

Thrown together under incredible circumstances, two strangers must discover courage and strength when they begin a journey across the treacherous African desert! Equipped only with their wits and the expertise of a native bushman who befriends them, they are determined to triumph over impossible odds and reach their destination. But along the way, the trio face a primitive desert wilderness.

This documentary by Craig and Damon Foster focuses on the surviving San bushmen in the central Kalahari.

Tchai is the word used by Ju/'hoansi to describe getting together to dance and sing; n/um can be translated as medicine, or supernatural potency. In the 1950's, when this film was shot, Ju/'hoansi gathered for "medicine dances" often, usually at night, and sometimes such dances lasted until dawn.

Women from three separate Ju/'hoan bands have gathered at a mangetti grove at !O to play an intense game in which under-tones of social and personal tensions become apparent.
