I appreciate the effort, as always, but 'Jewel in the Sand' is a bit of a slog to watch. Neat to see a film out of Botswana, though aside from the location visuals there aren't any positives I can really share about this 2020 release. Spark Makala tries in the lead role, though sadly neither he or any of his co-stars managed to light up the film for me personally. The story is the story, nothing memorable unfortunately. At least it only lasts for around 80mins.
