  • "Footage accumulated by John Marshall over a thirty-year period documents the life of a !Kung woman from childhood to middle age and shows how her life changed after the !Kung were removed from their nomadic life on the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa and relocated on a government settlement. Includes Nai's commentary on the events of her life and her own evaluation of the changes wrought by government intervention. From the Odyssey series. Blue Ribbon winner, American Film Festival."
  • "Summary: In 1970 the authorities established a reservation on the Namibia-Botswana border, restricting some 800 !Kung to an area one-half the size of their original territory. The reservation lacks sufficient food and water for the !Kung to continue their nomadic hunting / gathering and their enforced settlement has radically altered their traditional way of life. Compiled from footage shot over a period of 27 years, this film provides a comprehensive look at a culture that is rapidly disappearing. In particular it focuses on N!ai, a woman now in her mid-thirties, who tells of her childhood, when her people still roamed the Kalahari desert, of her early and unwanted marriage, and of the current problems besetting the community. It also observes the clash between !Kung culture and that of the white man, who has established a military base nearby, and depicts the resultant disintegration of tribal life. Awards: American Film Festival, New York."

  • "This film provides a broad overview of Ju/'hoan life, both past and present, and an intimate portrait of N!ai, a Ju/'hoan woman who in 1978 was in her mid-thirties. N!ai tells her own story, and in so doing, the story of Ju/'hoan life over a thirty year period. "Before the white people came we did what we wanted," N!ai recalls, describing the life she remembers as a child: following her mother to pick berries, roots, and nuts as the season changed; the division of giraffe meat; the kinds of rain; her resistance to her marriage to /Gunda at the age of eight; and her changing feelings about her husband when he becomes a healer. As N!ai speaks, the film presents scenes from the 1950's that show her as a young girl and a young wife. The uniqueness of N!ai may lie in its tight integration of ethnography and history. While it portrays the changes in Ju/'hoan society over thirty years, it never loses sight of the individual, N!ai. Filmmaker: John Marshall, Adrienne Miesmer."@en

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, 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."
