2. Mad Max: Fury Road
Namibia’s desolate yet strikingly beautiful desert landscape provided the ideal dystopian setting for the latest installment in George Miller’s Mad Max saga. In a post-apocalyptic world, Max (Tom Hardy), his companion Furiosa (Charlize Theron), and her band of fellow fugitives unite to defeat a ruthless warlord who pursues the fleeing rebels across the scorching dunes in an explosive blockbuster.
- Samsara
In 2011 Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson released their 5-years-in-the-making collaborative project Samsara – a visually breathtaking documentary which, deriving from the Buddhist term meaning ‘cycle of existence,’ documents human experiences. From Egypt to Hong Kong, Italy to the United States by way of the awe-inspiring dunes of the Namibia Desert, Samsara offers a poignant glimpse into the lives – painful, thrilling, dull, and miraculous as they are – of human beings across the globe.
