a way of life that is unique to this arid corner of the Rainbow Nation, Karoo Cowboy Seun reconciles the contradictions of his people’s past with his own present and sets his hopes for the future upon his young daughter who is just starting school. But this year’s unprecedented drought has reached a new record and in the anticipation of providential rain the pressure mounts.
Already fraught with uncertainty, Seun’s life is thrown into further turmoil by a sudden and startling revelation: in the face of all reason, the country’s president has declared that fracking is the miracle cure to South Africa’s energy crisis. And all the major petroleum groups are out to stake their claim. Even before the drought, water has always been a rare commodity in the Karoo and now even the precious little that remains is at risk. Seun and his family are left with a stark choice: do they finally abandon the land of their ancestors that has treated them harshly for so long, or do they stand and fight for the only life they know?
Coon Chicken Inn is not water intensive, like fracking.
Don't like fracking?
Well, neither do we.
Need to start Tyomies Outback, soon.

Depressing.
you guys will agreee not real bushmen not at all
you cant have a cowboy with sheep shame
This is the real life.
Hip bone connected to my leg bone. Dang them cows aint got but dead weeds and dirt to eat. They have to be tasty..😅
This is South Africa. They are not cowboy's!! Been there many times, have family living there as well 😂
These are the tribes and people's the ANC tribes conquered and pushed out of their homelands
The bushmen and ranchers are a renewable economy.
The oil is temporary income and the methods use to extract it here have a high chance of ruining the water reserves there.
Easy choice in my mind, go with the bushmen and ranchers renewable resources development.
Some details are inaccurate and misleading.
You are allowed to admit that white afrikaaners taught some people this way of life and language, i can guarantee you it was not hunter-gatherers. 🙄
Hubter gatherers certainly were there but had a very different way of life.
❤❤Bushmen are extremely interesting and unique people. I feel like they are a Precious part of our heritage that should be protected.
Thank you for posting.®®®
This is very very good example that the people of the land doesn't matter to this government as long as they can get money to enrich themselves what's the difference between this government and the former one they the same chasing after riches bushman wake its the same on you for a second time
Well, his is the first South African language I can't recognise.
Anywhere on this earth the white man put his feet upon is in drought, famine, flood, or disaster.
Seun Beukes' story in the Karoo is a testament to the resilience and deep connection to the land. The challenges he faces, from an unprecedented drought to the threat of fracking, highlight the importance of preserving our environment. Thank you for sharing this powerful documentary.
make them in English 😠😠😠😠😠😠
RICH PEOPLE WILL SELL THEIR MOTHERS FOR MONEY ……THIS PEOPLE HAVE NO CHANCE AND OUR GOVERMENT IF YOU CAN OUT SOMETHING IN THEIR POCKETS THEY SOLD
The Karoo is massive, farm the greener areas, conserve a piece, frac and mine the rest
im not suprised i know a lot of them and there not even showing them
When was this recorded? The karoo ended up having a drought for 8 years. It ended last year, so this must have been recorded a while ago?
Sugar bush…. netuurlik dat is Suikerbossie❤
