Surviving Paradise explores the Okavango Delta, a vast oasis, isolated from
the rest of the world by unforgiving desert. It’s also a refuge, built and
maintained daily by its inhabitants; in return, it caters for their every
need. Big cats may appear to reign here, but in reality, the fate of every
creature, great and small, is intertwined. This film explores the
blueprints for building the perfect world, managing it sustainably, and
maintaining it – despite extremes of drought, famine, and flood. Most
crucially, it spotlights those passing the secret formula on to their
descendants, who will find it harder than ever before to keep their Eden
intact.
