Hi Roman, we are a group of Chilean teachers who were looking for a video which could portray reality in South Africa... we bumped into your video and were much impressed by it, but evenmore knowing when you had done it... the kids were also so surprised that we decided to write to you to congratulate you and give our respects.. thank you for such dedication...

@Carydk not sure why my previous comment seems to have disappeared, but I wanted to thank you again for your kind words. I'm very blessed to have been in a position to capture these moments at such a young age, and it is my passion for both film and indigenous cultures which motivated this project. I'm 22 now and currently at University, but plan on continuing film upon graduation; I am currently working on several scripts, one of which focuses on a missionary in Africa from my home town.

@CRloveya Thank you for your words. I am very privileged to have been able to experience this place, even for a short time, and thus I see it as partially my responsibility to help share this topic with the world.

Hey Roman, Good video man! One comment I would like to make: You mention in the video that running water and electricity is nowhere to be seen. Although this is still a major problem, big strides (more than 1.5 million people) have been made in the last decade to supply electricity (called FBE: Free Basic Electricity), running water and houses through RDP (Research and Development Programmes). A lot of work still has to be done, but we're getting there. :-) Just thought I will share that.

@raynard88666 I know it's 1 year later on, but I just have to reply to your comment: I feel really sorry for you man. Is it ever possible for you to see the world through optimistic eyes?

@JayBrew391 eeyup, and righfully so for forgetting that this sound was from Morrowind! Never forget never forgive... but love and tolerate :3 yay

[JayBrew391]

@NegusNegest ....did you just call yourself a moron?

[TheMari828]

does anybody knows this song name what's at the begining of video??

[brettcook92]

@NegusNegest

YES! I'm not the only one who knew this!

It's too bad that both a decrease from poverty and a beautiful wildlife probably won't go together. You can see in almost every Western country, that when a counrty becomes richer and the economy picks up, people demand more and more space and wildlife disapears. I hope that people find a way to help both African people and African nature.

@NegusNegest duh! its from TES Morrowind... just the best damn game evar! moron

Very nice documentary!

[NegusNegest]

Nice Vid! Could someone tell me the name or origin of the song playing in the end from 8.30 ?
