Shepherds of the Earth

The area in Turkana, Kenya, known as the Cradle of Humankind, is nowadays inhabited by an indigenous pastoral tribe called Daasanach. Two European biologists are impressed by the traditional fables and animal stories of the tribe. The stories paint a picture of vivid nature and rich wildlife. But while exploring the surroundings, the biologists discover a dry and bare landscape with hardly any animals left. The two worlds collide revealing the importance of wildlife and nature for both.
