Project Description
As the modern world threatens to consume forever their ancient way of life and
their land, Hadza hunter-gatherer children Ng'uba and Nguilabe already feel
the sense of duty that weighs on them as the next generation. Their struggle to
preserve their Tanzanian tribe's 50,000-year-old ways prompts them to explore the community’s deep and unique connection to nature. On their journey to find a balance between the old and new worlds, they are guided by powerful Hadzabe mythology, leading them to see afresh their people’s extraordinary relationship with wildlife and realise as never before just how much is at stake.
