Following the success of his first Ju/’hoansi documentary, The Hunters (1957), Marshall embarked on an ambitious project – a new kind of ethnographic documentary that utilized short, succinct episodes to capture small moments of the Ju/’hoansi's everyday life. Despite their subtitles and occasional explanatory narration, these films are unique for their rejection of the outsiders’ point of view and their ability to instead allow the subjects and their actions – playing games, gathering food, socializing and arguing – to speak for themselves. In 2009, Marshall’s Bushmen films were awarded UNESCO's "Memory of the World" designation.
