John Marshall was an American anthropologist and acclaimed documentary filmmaker best known for his work in Namibia recording the lives of the Ju/'hoansi tribe (also called the !Kung Bushmen).[1][2] Born in Cambridge,[1] he first traveled to the Kalahari Desert, where the tribe dwells, in 1949 in the company of his family on a trip initiated by his father Laurence Marshall, who founded the Raytheon Corporation.[3] In 1968, Marshall helped found Documentary Educational Resources, a non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating the use of cross-cultural documentaries in the classroom.[3][4] In 2003, the Society for Visual Anthropology bestowed on Marshall a lifetime achievement award for his work among the hunter gatherer society.[1] Marshall died of cancer in April, 2005.[1]
