In Africa, there is a 25,000 year old language in the brink of extinction. With only very few surging members with the youngest being 80 years old, there seems to be no hope. Through a film documentary a crew discovers the story of this soon to be forgotten language.

I think that making this documentary is a great idea. These languages are a part of peoples lifestyle and background, I can only imagine how upset they would be if they lost that. It's good spread knowledge about languages that are dying out so more people can become aware of what's happening. - R.S.

The language of the tribe in the story is going extinct fast and most of the tribe disappeared. Most of them have left and moved somewhere else within the Kalahari. The ones that left grow up learning a different language and die being buried differently. The tribe is slowly dying out and it seems like nothing will stop it from dying.
