Surviving Paradise explores the Okavango Delta, a vast oasis, isolated from the rest of the world by unforgiving desert.
It's also a refuge, built and maintained daily by its inhabitants; in return, it caters for their every need.
Big cats may appear to reign here, but in reality, the fate of every creature, great and small, is intertwined.
This film explores the blueprints for building the perfect world, managing it sustainably, and maintaining it – despite extremes of drought, famine, and flood.
