Kate Leeming's feature film, Diamonds in the Sand is not just about the first-ever complete bicycle journey down Namibia's Skeleton Coast, it is also a journey into the positive, resilient mindset of one of Australia’s most accomplished contemporary explorers.

Cycling a thousand miles is a tough challenge at the best of times, but throw in mammoth sand dunes, ferocious head winds, extreme isolation and lions and it becomes one of the toughest challenges on the planet.

Join Kate on her expedition as she encounters much more than the elements, but rather shares such as poverty, wildlife conservation, innovation, resilience, fearlessness and managing risk.
