Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 10x5

Lesotho, known as the Kingdom in the Sky, is a country completely surrounded by South Africa. Despite economic challenges, its people have kept their optimism and warmth, qualities that brought Veronika from Slovakia here nine years ago. Originally from near Banská Bystrica, she now lives in Lesotho with her local partner and their son, while also supporting children in need. Thanks to her energy and openness, she has become part of the community she now calls home. We explore local street food, sample traditional dishes, and discover how Lesotho’s sweet bread is made. We meet fishermen and shepherds who show us how they prepare meat and process goat wool, which women weave into beautiful traditional carpets. After tasting local treats, including fried dough and boiled chicken feet, our journey ends in a mountain village near waterfalls, where we are welcomed with open arms.
