    Abstract: What made this trilogy special was that, unlike most television reportage, it had a temporal dimension. That is to say, it offered not a brutal, intrusive and uncomprehending snapshot, but a sympathetic, well-informed and thoughtful history of ten difficult years in the life of a tribe. Its insight derived from an anthropologist, David Turton, who has been studying the Mursi for years and who was able to provide the absolutely essential explanations of the mysterious events filmed by the Granada crew. This is the kind of illumination which is often provided by books or by personal experience, but almost never by television. This is a trilogy about aspects of the culture of two groups of people, the Kwegu and the Mursi, in Ethiopia. The titles are THE MURSI, THE KWEGU, THE MIGRANTS.

    Abstract: This film is set in a community of peasant agriculturalists 2 1/4 miles above sea level in the southern Peruvian Andes. Concentrating on a single family, the film explores aspects of religious and secular life. The first part of the film shows a pilgrimage to a Christian sanctuary situated close to the residence of the most powerful of the Central Andean mountain spirits (Apus) illustrating the syncretism of Catholic and pre-Hispanic local religious traditions. In the second part of the film we see a fertility rite for sheep, and the attempts of certain members of the community to procure government assistance for a motor road to the village which would link them more closely with the rest of Peruvian society. This film portrays the Quechua of the village of Camahuara as being in a sense sealed off from the rest of the world, but it also shows how their way of life is integrated with the Peruvian economy. It has been criticised for emphasising that the desire for change is coming from inside the traditional society rather than being forced on it from without.

    Keywords: Ceremonial exchange ; Ethnology ; Kawelka (Papua New Guinean people) Social life and customs. ; Western Highlands Province (Papua New Guinea) Social life and customs. ; North America ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: Ongka is a charismatic big-man of the Kawelka tribe who live scattered in the Western highlands, north of Mount Hagen, in New Guinea. The film focuses on the motivations and efforts involved in organising a big ceremonial gift-exchange or moka planned to take place sometime in 1974. Ongka has spent nearly five years preparing for this ceremonial exchange, using all his big-man skills of oratory and persuasion in order to try to assemble what he hopes will be a huge gift of 600 pigs, some cows, some cassowaries, a motorcycle, a truck and £5,500 in cash. As an example of the big-man familiar from written texts, Ongka is memorable, and the film manages to convey through this main character the importance of pigs, of exchange and of prestige in the life of these Highlanders. The film-crew never in fact managed to film the big moka, as the conspiratorial and complex manoeuvres involved in setting the date thwarted their plans. But we are shown Ongka replacing tee-shirt and shorts with his ceremonial feathers and setting off to a little moka where he collects pigs he 'invested' with his wife's father. The interview with Ongka's wife raises the issue of the sexual division of labour and the importance of the wife's labour in pig-rearing and moka preparation, as well as the role of women in the establishment of a big-man.

    Keywords: Maasai (African people) ; Women, Maasai ; Women, Maasai. ; Kenya. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Masai are cattle herders living in the East African rift valley: they grow no crops and are proud of being a non-agricultural people. Cattle are the all-important source of wealth and social status, and Masai love their cattle, composing poems to them. However, it is the men who have exclusive control over rights to cattle, and women are dependent, throughout their lives, on a man – father, husband or son – for rights of access to property. A woman's status as 'daughter', 'wife' or 'mother' is therefore crucial and this film examines with depth and sensitivity the social construction of womanhood in Masai society, concentrating upon women's attitudes to their own lives. The film details a series of events in women's lives, from their circumcision ceremonies which mark their transition from girlhood to womanhood, to the moment when they proudly watch their sons make the transition to elderhood in the eunoto ceremony.

    Keywords: Rolong (African people) ; France ; Nonfiction films.
    Abstract: The 'Barolong boo Ratshidi' are one of the group of Tswana peoples, who together form a culturally homogeneous population of over two million. The Barolong themselves number about 75000 and are one of the southernmost of the Tswana chiefdoms. The international boundary between South Africa and Botswana now divides this formerly united nation into two political communities, the smaller in south-east Botswana and the larger in the northern Cape Province of South Africa where this film was made. After the Union of South Africa was created in 1910 the Barolong were rapidly incorporated into the wider national economy. Soon, most adult males were compelled to enter the migrant labour market and were exposed to the cultural melting pot of the burgeoning industrial cities. Yet, despite rapid change in their social horizons, they were restricted, like other blacks, from any meaningful participation in white urban culture and its political institutions. Not surprisingly cultural change among the Baralong has been markedly uneven and the selective adoption of western forms has been accompanied by a perpetuation of much of their traditional corpus of belief and practice. The cultural diversity is perhaps most dramatically exemplified in the context of ritual and cosmology. The Barolong share the keenness of other black peoples in southern Africa for assimilating elements drawn from the various Christian denominations with which they have made contact. The chiefdom accommodates numerous churches, each comprising a number of individual congregations. Religious organisations here are prone to rapid subdivision, the splinter groups retaining the emphasis upon elaborate ritual and uniform, and upon complicated leadership hierarchies which are found in the parent churches. Leaders in those churches are widely regarded as the educated elite; but while they formally condemn traditional ritual practice, nearly all Barolong continue to conduct their lives in terms of traditional cosmology. Beliefs in sorcery, pollution and ancestral potency flourish, and are expressed in the ritual of most the churches. The film examines Barolong religious syncretism in the context of the modern socio-political predicament. Two main types of religious organisation may be distinguished: the larger churches, whose form approximates that of the original mission church; and the smaller, highly factious groups, whose structure and ritual activities combine American fundamentalism with indigenous practice. The film attempts to show how seemingly irrational belief and action make sense when viewed in their proper context. The apparently bizarre syncretistic religion of the Barolong can be seen as part of the universal human quest to impose order and meaning upon everyday experience.

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Ethnology ; Indians of South America ; Mehinacu Indians. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Mehinacu live near the head-waters of the River Xingu in Central Brazil, in a single village within the protective confines of the Xingu National Park. Although the film concentrates upon the most exotic aspects of Mehinacu life, focusing on a series of rituals concerned with the planting and harvesting of the piqui tree, these rites are firmly located in their social context. Relations between the sexes in this society are formalised in an astonishing abundance of ritual, celebration, dances and games, performed to ensure fertile soil and good crops. Many sequences deal with the daily life of the Mehinacu, showing, for example, the sexual division of labour, with men fishing and women preparing manioc. The use of subtitled interviews provides a depth and sensitivity in the film's approach which helps to underline the concern with the fact that these Indians are seriously threatened by a road which is being cut through their territory. One of the highlights of the film is an interview with a Mehinacu elder who tells of the origin myth of the sacred flutes, a myth which is part of a complex belief system that will be lost if the Mehinacu, who are such a small group, are not able to survive under the pressures of the outside world. The film could be used to stimulate discussions of sex role differences, sexual division of labour in particular societies, and the connection between ritual and social relationships.

    Keywords: Ethnology ; Ethnology. ; Sakudei (Indonesian people) ; Indonesia. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Sakuddei are a small and ethnically separate community living on the island of Siberut off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Their distinctive way of life and elaborate religious ceremonies, centred on the umah (ceremonial house) are under threat from the Indonesian government which wishes to 'civilise' the Sakuddei. These people are also threatened by a timber company from the Philippines which has been granted a logging concession in the Sakuddei's territory. The first part of the film contains strikingly photographed scenes of ritual life in the umah, while in the second part there is an interview with a representative of the government who wants to send the Sakuddei children to school in a government village on the coast. The adults fear that the children will lose touch with their own customs and identity if placed in such an institution. Their concern forms part of a moving and dramatic film which explores the contrast between the Sakuddei's way of life and the various pressures of modern Indonesian society on them: Islam, money, police, administrators and the lumber companies.
