Abstract
This thesis consists of a text and a videotape, entitled Pull Ourselves Up or Die Out. The written thesis is an examination of the tradition of documentary film making with particular reference to notions of Realism, particularly as revealed in the ethnographic films made by John Marshall. The Marshall material spans a period from 1951 to the present day and relates the changes that the !Kung Bushman of Namibia have been forced to undergo. The material is unique and this thesis elaborates on the conditions and influences that have determined the film maker's strongly personal approach. The videotape that accompanies this thesis is 3/4 inch U-Matic, 25 minutes long, color, sound and. in English, Afrikaans and Ju/Wasi languages.
