synopsis

En
Nl

The black and white inhabitants of Oranjemund live harmoniously together, but this apparent paradise is threatened when the diamond mine that sustains the town must close. Will their unique community become a ghost town, swallowed by the sand, or will they succeed in creating a diversified, sustainable town?
Een harmonieuze gemeenschap van zwarte en witte inwoners in een afgelegen stadje in de Namibische woestijn dreigt haar paradijs te verliezen door de sluiting van een diamantmijn. Zal hun unieke Oranjemund een spookstad worden, opgeslokt door het zand, of slagen de inwoners erin zichzelf opnieuw uit te vinden en een duurzame stad te creëren?
