Namibia, 2009, 30 minutes

Director: Chris Alstrin

Producer: Majka Burhardt

In May 2009, a small team of rock climbers departed for Namibia with two goals: to find a way up an unexplored face, and to find a way into a deeper understanding of southern Africa. At the heart of their trip lies the question: Can adventure and culture combine to create understanding? “WayPoint Namibia” is the story of their journey.
