IN DEVELOPMENT

A UniTal Films production of a Graham Hickson film "MANTIS DANCE":                                                                 

Africa - a dark continent of myths and legends. This is the home of the San people; an untroubled world where the stars are hunters that roam the skies, firing arrows of shooting stars; where  dead spirits sleep on the moon; where the Praying Mantis is a mighty hero.
An English family journeys to Namibia and enters this innocent world of the Bushmen, bringing their guilt, and broken relationships with them, to a people who know no hate, no wanton destruction, and the fusion of cultures erupts and culminates in the "Mantis Dance".
