| Summary: | From the !Kung series. This short film follows Gunda, a young boy while he plays a game where he pretends to be a lion. As the game continues he is then hunted and killed by a group of boys. At the time of filming the Ju/'hoansi were one of the few surviving Kalahari groups that lived by hunting and gathering. During his time in the Kalahari, director John Marshall shot over 600,000 feet of film from which 24 films on the Ju/'hoansi, have been edited. These films on the lives and culture of the Kung people constitute a body of work that continue to define the fields of anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking today |
