Description
Some people on Earth still live without money, clocks or calendars. This 4K documentary travels to 30 of the strangest and most isolated tribes on the planet, from the Korowai who build their homes 100 feet up in the rainforest canopy, to the Bajau sea nomads who dive 230 feet on a single breath, and the Toraja who keep their dead at home for years.
Every tribe in this film survives in a place most of us would never choose: frozen Siberia at minus 58°F, the burning Sahara, flooded jungles, Himalayan valleys cut off by snow for months. And every one of them keeps customs that look shocking from the outside but make perfect sense from the inside.
In this film:
- The Hadza of Tanzania, still living as hunter-gatherers with no rulers and no money
- The Korowai treehouse people of Papua
- The Kayan long-neck women of Myanmar and their brass coils
- The Bajau and Moken sea nomads, born with underwater vision
- The Yakut and Nenets, surviving Siberia's brutal winters with horses and reindeer
- The Dani and Anga, who smoke the bodies of their ancestors
- The Toraja, who reopen coffins to dress their dead
- The Huli Wigmen, the Asaro Mudmen and the Himba of Namibia
- The Sateré-Mawé bullet ant ritual in the Amazon
