THE STOLEN RIVER

The Stolen River is a riveting and immediate story of the historic moment when the Savuti Channel in Northern Botswana suddenly withered away leaving what was once a beautiful wetland to bake under the African sun. But with this intense drying up, a whole range if interactions start to emerge. A hippo pushes lions asside to get to the spilled stomach contents of a dead elephant, elephants dig down into the earth for water and hyenas turn adversity to their advantage.

JOURNEY TO THE FORGOTTEN RIVER
Journey to the Forgotten River follows on from The Stolen River, and journeys with the animals that did not stay, but chose early on to leave the wreckage of the disappearing river and go in search of the rovers of the north. One traveller on the 120km trek is a female hippo, and we follow as she trudges across the interior, and finally makes it to Linyanti. Her urgency is soon explained. She has the next generation to think about. A classic moment in film, from Journey to the Forgotten River is the duel between a female warthog and some jackal, who are determined to snatch her babies.
