1996-1997. Director/Cameraman.
Black-jack, high stakes - filmed in the vast, sun-baked Etosha National
Park in Namibia, this is a story of the jackal, a cunning predator and
an artful scavenger. Life in the bush is hard, the stakes are high but
the jackal is a survivor. It has developed a complex social system in
which communication, group co-operation, along with amazing adaptability
have led to the jackal becoming one of the most successful and versatile
hunters in Africa.

As he becomes more independent he moves further afield. Alone and
inexperienced, he faces many dangers, including the dreaded rabies
and narrowly escapes with his life on several occasions. As an adult
he fights off other males to win a mate and finally to have a family
of his own. |
