The Ghosts of the Great Salt Lake is a fascinating dive into the stark beauty of Botswana's saltpans. Glyn Maude's lens captures the eerie stillness and raw isolation of this harsh landscape, immersing us in the lives of brown hyenas. It's not just the visuals; there's a haunting quality to the atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, allowing us to absorb the harsh realities of survival in such an unforgiving environment. The practical effects of nature's own drama play out without artifice, which is refreshing. The performances, if you can call them that, are raw and unfiltered, showcasing the hyenas' everyday struggles. It’s a unique piece, definitely not your run-of-the-mill documentary.
