Six women each live with six different tribes. The Kuna Indians live on islands off the coast of Panama. Joining them is Sass Willis, a 34 year old from Oxford.

In this new six part series six women each live for a month with six different tribes all over the world. Like many women today juggling with the pressures of Western life from careers to home and family, they all think something is missing. By spending time with tribes where women's roles are very different, they hope they can find some answers, and in doing so, change their own lives.

The Kuna Indians live on a stunning scattering of coral islands off the coast of Panama. A monogamous tribe with tight-knit families, they're a deeply spiritual people who believe that their homes and families are protected by ever-present spirits.Living with them for the next month is Sass Willis, a 34 year old from Oxford. She packs every moment of her day leaving no time for herself. But there's a good reason for it. Twenty one years ago, Sass had to choose between her parents. When she decided to live with her father, she never saw her mother again and it's never ceased to haunt her. Amongst the Kune, Sass makes an extraordinary discovery - the mother she feels she's never had.
