First to post!


I just watched this show for the first time last night on Discovery, when the guy goes to live with the Kamboi tribe in Indonesia. It's so interesting how you assume these people are savages (i.e. the cannibalism aspect etc.) but they're actually gentle, emotional people just like everyone else. I was surprised that the cannibalism part isn't that prominent at all, and they only do it to subside fears and put a stop to evil spirits, and it's only done very occasionally. Pretty interesting show!

I saw this 6 part series on bbc 2 at start of the year. Brilliant program. Ive got so much respect for bruce parry for going to live with/like these people and showing us all how they live and survive in there habitats.

Amazing program 10/10
