What is this episode about
The Sahara in Northern Africa is the world’s largest desert.
Huge zebras fight over dwindling resources on the periphery, while naked mole rats live a bizarre underground existence to escape the heat.
Camel herders lead their animals through the desert in search of water, and tiny swallows fly across thousands of square miles in search of a single oasis, all while the sand dunes’sing’.
This is a tale of the end of the world and how some people are swept away in the chaos, while others find a way to survive, and a select few seize control and usher in a new era.
