The interdisciplinary research project "The Future Okavango" (TFO) investigates sustainable land use and resource management in the Okavango Basin of Angola, Namibia and Botswana. Three participatory films were produced in collaboration with rural dwellers from the project's core research sites in order to communicate their knowledge and share their perspectivities with the project's stakeholders as well as to broader audiences. The films show different aspacts of natural resource use and discuss related issues. They were produced during workshops organised by anthropologist Martin Gruber (University of Bremen) together with the local TFO members Robert Mukuya (Namibia, Meshack Kwamovo (Botwswana) and Miguel Sachilulo Hilario (Angola).
