This was another fascinating short movie which I just recently watched on Al Jazeera. In it, we get a story on Lesotho, a small yet independent country entirely surrounded by South Africa.
Of course, we do not often hear about Lesotho. I know little about it, mostly as a result of my studies of South Africa now over the years. But it is usually regarded as an afterthought by many, including those who focus on South Africa, which perhaps understandably gets far more attention.
So running into this video proved fascinating. It delves into the mountainous country of Lesotho, which has one very valuable resource that South Africa increasingly desperately needs: water. But Lesotho is a poor, underdeveloped country. In this video, we catch a glimpse of a tiny country which most of us rarely ever hear about.
It seemed worth sharing here. See the link below, and watch the attached video once you go on the site. It is not terribly long, but it is fascinating. Enjoy!
