Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This documentary concerns some of the world's primitive tribes and their struggle to coexist with the technology of the modern world. The Suya tribe in Brazil, Australian aborigines know as the Wailbri, the Masei in Africa, and the natives of New Guinea are shown in their daily lives and practicing ancient customs that resemble scenes from the Stone Age instead of the Space Age.
