🐪🐊 NEW FILM: In the middle of the Sahara, a whole year of rain adds up to less than a tenth of an inch. Yet every day, herders lead their camels down to drink from a canyon pool where a handful of crocodiles still live.

We start in a capital built where two rivers meet, where people still buy drinking water by the can, then follow the water to rangers on horseback, herds at their wells, and eighteen lakes where it almost never rains.

🦍 NEW FILM: In Rwanda, nearly every slope is somebody's field, and about 1,400 people share every square mile. Yet at the top of the hills there's a forest nobody may farm, and one hour with the family living in it costs $1,500.

So where does that money go, and how do you make a living on hills with almost no empty ground left? We go right around the country: a Saturday morning when a whole capital picks up spades, a lake that helps keep the lights on, tea hills, and drones that carry blood to hospitals.
