N!ai, the Story of a !Kung Woman
- 1980 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- (Odyssey series) In 1950 N!ia was a child roaming the African bush with a small band of hunter-gatherers. Today she lives with 800 people on a government settlement. From film spanning 28 years with the !Kung bushmen, John Marshall has produced an intimate portrait of one woman and a vanishing way of life. N!ia is bitter about the changes in San life due to the settlement scheme. The food shortages, disease and the loss of their traditional way of life have aggravated tensions and jealousies among the !Kung where harmony existed before.
