The Okavango Blue Diamond is a once in a lifetime find that rivals the famous Hope Diamond. It’s the largest blue diamond ever found in Botswana at 20.46 carats of almost flawless clarity. Blue diamonds are amongst the rarest found in nature. So, its befitting that the film to accompany this exceptional and extraordinary gem is emotive and epic in its scale.

Kim Geldenhuys stunning and evocative film is a powerful sensory journey through themes of the cosmos, natural forces, planetary elements and humanity at its most fundamental. The words were written in collaboration with celebrated South African poet Iain S. Thomas.

The film features the landscape of Botswana and its people. The diamond actually belongs to the people of Botswana. The Okavango Diamond Company is a government owned entity and the proceeds of the sale of the diamond will go directly to the funding of hospitals, schools and conservation in Botswana.

Serendipity brought Kim & Nice Shirt together, when they collaborated on a Globalcom job featuring world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua in late 2018.

Nice Shirt MD Richard Martin: “Getting together with Kim for the Glo job was a rare & wonderful piece of serendipity – a timely introduction from a great mutual friend. The job was a special one – very hard for lots of reasons, but infused with positive energy – no small part of it radiated by the mighty Anthony Joshua himself. I absolutely love Kim’s work – it’s wonderfully varied, superbly subtle and always soulful. I have the same little tingle – the feeling of being a good fit – as when I first saw, many moons ago, Stuart Douglas and Jesper Ericstam’s work.”

Kim is a true gent, modest and engaging, but, also a truly innovative thinker who likes to keep moving and is disinclined to repeat himself and disinclined to repeat himself.
