A dragon hatched from the volcanic furnaces of Gondwanaland. Ancient almost beyond comprehension, yet a living thing. Today we call it the Drakensberg, or “Dragon Mountain.” To the creatures that live along its flanks, it can be a bountiful provider as well as a remorseless destroyer. Drakensberg: Barrier of Spears is a dynamic documentary journey through the life of this ever-astonishing mountain. It is also a story of animal survival in a landscape of overwhelming, pitiless power. Here are some of the places we visited in the making of the film.
