Les Stroud's Beyond Survival

The Bushmen of the Kalahari Part 2

The Kalahari San practice the ritual of the trance dance as a direct communion to the spirit world, the souls of the Bushmen journeying through space and time to the world of the Ancients to gain insight and healing for their day-to-day survival, individually or for the community at large. Les is the first Westerner to participate in this physically and mentally exhausting three-day trance.
