Africa
Far from laboratories, government buildings and cities, the first signs that something is wrong appear in a remote African landscape.
Here, isolated communities live alongside a harsh and beautiful environment where water is precious and survival has always depended upon understanding the land.
When wildlife begins to die without explanation, what first appears to be a local mystery becomes the beginning of something much larger.
