Dust

Dust follows that battle over the course of a year through flood and dust, abundance and starvation anchored by the longest terrestrial zebra migration in Africa and the animals whose lives hinge on the arrival of rain. At the heart of the story is the Boteti River and the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans, where water rarely lingers but life still insists on trying. As floodwaters from Angola pulse south, the Boteti swells into a narrow lifeline. Elephants, hippos, zebra, and wildebeest crowd its banks, while lions, cheetahs, jackals, and elusive brown hyenas track their every move. As the heat intensifies, the river shrinks, grass turns to dust, and desperate animals are forced into increasingly dangerous encounters at muddy wallows, shrinking pools, and along treacherous riverbanks where one misstep can be fatal
