Okavango to screen at USA 2020 Sundance Film Festival

The Jouberts are National Geographic explorers, filmmakers and founders of the Great Plains Foundation, a wildlife conservation organisation operating in Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. The documentary received rave reviews from the Sundance community and the board after the screening of the premiere. Dereck and Beverly expressed their gratitude and delight at the opportunity to showcase Okavango at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

“In over 35 years of filmmaking, this is our first to be accepted into Sundance, a huge milestone for us in our careers.” The film Okavango, based on the Okavango River in Botswana, is an exploration into finding the soul of the river. It investigates the different aspects of the river and how it affects wildlife and the ecosystems that surround it, but mostly it is a celebration of this unique and pristine wonder of the world.
