Far away, in the middle of the Namibian wasteland, on former German-colonial soil. Due to a lack of prospects, some Namibians dig for gemstones in illegal, dangerous mines. The transmedia series THE SOIL OF THE NAMIB tells their story in four documentary parts: A short film DREAMS, which follows three workers on their search, and three complementary 360° episodes. LAND deals with the issue of land theft and the identity of the local people. WRAITHS recounts the start of the diamond rush in Namibia and the ghosts of the past. And DARK takes viewers into shoulder-width, illegal mine ducts and accompanies two workers during their sweaty underground search.

The genocide and the trauma of the German colonial rule are still present and influence the culture and identity of both tribes down to the present day.
