Desert Paradise

Logline

A harmonious community of black and white inhabitants in a remote diamond town in the Namibian desert is in danger of losing its paradise due to the impending closure of the mine. Will their unique Oranjemund become a ghost town, swallowed by the sand, or will they succeed in creating a diversified, sustainable town.
