[Culture in Flux]
Namibia is a country of deserts, the Kalahari and the Namib; Ancient tribes, the Bushmen and Himba; Shanty towns filled with refugees from South Africa and Angola. More recently cultural dynamics have created Namibia's greatest challenge, the ravages of AIDS.
Behind the beautiful portraits is a culture disintegrating.
Courage and resistance emerges in personalities like:
Queen Elizabeth mayor of Opuwo, an isolated dusty town at the Angola border.
Maria, a young girl who hopes to become a doctor.
Bavanga, a man who helps guide the lives of other young men and boys who are without family, home, father.
