Barney Desai was a political hero during South Africa's struggle for freedom, yet as a father he was damagingly absent emotionally. Rehad spent most of his young life in exile and became politically active himself. On this intensely personal journey into his past, Rehad realizes he is following in his fathers footsteps as he reviews his relationship with his own estranged teenage son.<br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/desai-rehad-c704all.aspx">Desai, Rehad</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/bushmans-secret-p220.aspx Product220 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 09:36:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/bushmans-secret-p220.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/bushmans-secret.jpg" alt="Bushman's Secret" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/bushmans-secret-p220.aspx">Bushman's Secret</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/bushmans-secret-p220.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$320.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div><div>When South African filmmaker Rehad Desai travels to the Kalahari to investigate global interest in ancient Bushmen knowledge, he meets Jan van der Westhuizen, a fascinating Khomani San traditional healer. Jan's struggle to live close to nature is hampered by centuries of colonial exploitation of the San Bushmen and of their land.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Unable to survive as they once did hunting and gathering, the Khomani now live in a state of poverty that threatens to see the last of this community forever. One plant could make all the difference. Hoodia, a cactus used by Bushmen for centuries, has caught the attention of a giant pharmaceutical company. It now stands to decide the fate of the Khomani San.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Bushman's Secret</i> features breathtaking footage of the Kalahari landscape, and exposes us to a world where modernity collides with ancient ways, at a time when each has, strangely, come to rely on the other.</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/desai-rehad-c704all.aspx">Desai, Rehad</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
