Nature Tracks – African Lace and Petticoat Dust

The history of the Hereor-speaking people of Namibia is a complex one, fraught with conflict. The last 200 years have witnessed clashes with other tribes over land and a brutal campaign of genocide waged against them by the German colonists. More recently they became unwillingly embroiled in the Namibian War of independence. This episode of “On Track” takes a look at these dispersed pasturalists and what the future has in store for them. This award winning, awe inspiring, documentary series deals with all things African. We look at the fascinating diversity and lives of the African wildlife….from the lush rainforests, to the arid desert sands to the vast oceans surrounding the continent. We also explore the rich diversity of cultures and traditions of the various peoples and regions of this magical land; and, investigate the fragile African environments and man’s interaction with her delicate ecosystems. Each program is headed up by a “Did you know” segment: an entertaining, even humorous, short subject followed by a fascinating feature story. Your whole family will enjoy this visual experience.
