Etosha: Place of Dry Water
1979, English. Directed by David Hughes & Carol Hughes.
Witness birth, death and survival in this stunning encounter with the wildlife of Namibia's Etosha National Park.
In one of the most acclaimed films of its kind see extraordinary closeups of animal behaviour: in slow-motion a cheetah chase becomes a sublime swim through the air, a wildebeest mother successfully defends her calf from attack, lion cubs catch and play with bullfrogs and a dove succumbs to a surprise attack by turtles.
