In 2010, Kate Leeming made history by becoming the first person to cycle from Africa鈥檚 westernmost point to its easternmost one. More recently, she decided to become the first person to cycle Namibia鈥檚 desert coastline, ominously known as听the Skeleton Coast. A new documentary series called听Diamonds in the Sandcaptured听the monthlong journey, which involved surviving heat, headwinds, and wildlife like hyenas, elephants, and lions. While traveling 1,000 miles on her custom fat bike, Leeming wove past aging shipwrecks and听sun-bleached animal bones听and took in stunning views of the听arid landscape. Throughout its four installments, the series documents her mental and physical struggles and the听history and ecology of this region.
