Spirits of the Rocks: The Culture of the San Bushpeople

The extraordinary rock paintings of the San bushpeople provide a culturally rich point of reconnection with humankind’s collective past. In this program, anthropologists Patricia Vinnicombe—author of the groundbreaking book People of the Eland—and Frans Prins as well as Megan Biesele, cofounder of the Kalahari Peoples Fund, take part in an ethnographic sojourn with the San in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. To better understand this venerable indigenous people, they immerse themselves in their culture, partaking of their art, myths, beliefs, rituals, and healing dance. (80 minutes)
