Synopsis

In October 2012, South African scuba instructor Dave Chamberlain departed Walvis Bay, Namibia on a 2700km-unsupported run. On a liquid only diet and running with a pram containing a tent and sleeping bag amongst other things. Dave entered Port Elizabeth, South Africa after 4 continuous months of running. Australian Photographer and Filmmaker Morgan Cardiff documented 4 weeks of his run, through the Southern Namibian Desert and into the Northern Cape of South Africa. Battling extreme temperatures, water scarcity and a few local wildlife encounters, the film looks at the inspiration and drivers behind such a project and takes you on a visual journey through the oldest desert on the planet.
