Jul'Hoansi

Jacob John Harmer · Documentary / Poem · 8 min · 24K views

Through a village elder's recollections, a lyrical portrait of the San people traces a tribesman's life from youth to old age amid a fading way of life.

A lyrical, beautifully narrated meditation on one of Earth's oldest cultures and its vanishing traditions.

The San tribe are one of the oldest populations on earth. Their distinctive dialect, ‘jul’Hoansi’, is spoken by a people whose numbers are decreasing at a time when globalisation encroaches on age old traditions. Filmmak
