Summary:

Set on the outskirts of the Kalahari desert - the ancestral home to the indigenous KhoiSan people of Southern Africa - Fading Footprints tells the story of an ancient culture on the brink of extinction. The Ju'hoansi tribe are one of over 30 dialects of indigenous San people who hold the precious wisdom of over 60 000 years. Now, they find themselves at a crossroad in time - stuck between the old world and the new. It is said that each time a San elder dies, an entire library of knowledge vanishes. To survive in this world, they must move from an old, nomadic way of life to a newer, modern society. But at what cost?
