This wildlife documentary is set in the mighty Kalahari Desert of South Africa. It follows a family of gregarious meerkats for a day. Led by a dominant female, the family must find food, tutor their young pups and avoid predators in one of Africa's most demanding environments, a scorched land where only the toughest survive. Even so, this inhospitable expanse is home to some of Southern Africa's most appealing characters. They rely on their wits and teamwork to thrive. For these remarkable desert dwellers, family comes first.
