Under the Sun

on BBC Two England

The Women Who Smile. 'A woman becomes a woman because she smiles,' is a saying of the Hamar people who live in the remote southwest of Ethiopia, far from famine and war.
Their women are proud, humorous and outspoken. Birinda, a young widow, Duka, an unmarried girl and Hilanda, a senior co-wife, although living a very different lifestyle from our own, share many of our concerns - teenage pregnancy, marriage, problems with men and growing old.
