This October anthropologist, author and celebrated filmmaker Hugh Brody will be joining us to introduce, screen and discuss two parts of his new film Tracks Across Sand. A unique documentary, shot between 1996 and 2010, it explores a decade of the ‡Khomani San people’s fight for their land and cultural survival in their own words.

Hugh will be introducing the film before screening the section known as Overture, which explores the ‡Khomani San’s visioning of and fight for their land rights. This will be followed by further discussion and a second screening, this time of a section calledAftermath, which reveals what came of the claim, and how the people have come to think of it some ten years on.

There will be time for a short Q+A with Hugh after this cinematic journey.
