World's Lost Tribes - Kombai
www.demanddvd.co.uk *ORDER NOW ON DVD* Join extreme travellers Mark Anstice and Olly Steeds as they embark on a unique expedition into one of the most remote rainforests on earth. Their goal is to live with the remarkable Kombai tribe, a rumoured cannibal tribe whose way of life hasn't changed since the Stone Age. The Kombai tribe was discovered only 25 years ago, in the dense jungles of West Papua, New Guinea. The tribe's lifestyle - dubbed 'stone-age' - has remained unchanged for 15,000 years. There are thought to be about 4,000 Kombai people. They are spread across approximately 250 small clans, each of which speaks a different language. They are generally suspicious of outsiders, and few have shown interest in the missionaries who made contact with them. Anecdotal evidence suggests there has only been one convert to Christianity since 1982.

Female circumcision
This is the most southerly of the tribes who live in Ethiopia's Omo Valley. In this harsh world, there are times when members of the Dassanech tribe lose their cattle and goats, and with them their livelihood. The way they deal with this, by switching to an alternative means of support by the shores of Lake Turkana, is an example of how life has to adapt in fundamental ways in the face of some of the most inhospitable conditions in the world.
Amazonian Indians from the Amazon Rain Forest
The Matis Indians of Brazil practice a unique ritual named the Ceremony of Mariwin. During this ritual, masked beings punish individuals who have recently misbehaved, especially women and children. To the Matis Indians, these masked beings are "ancestral spirits," yet are not human are unable to speak, only making animal-like sounds. Two seperate ceremonies are shown, one performed in Brazil and the other one in Peru. Additionally, they show how they can make fire without matches and hunt with blowguns and poison curare darts.
