In 1985 Benedict Allen came across the Niowra people who lived in the remote lowland swamps of New Guinea. He considered it a privilege to undergo the brutal secret initiation ceremony to become Man as Strong as a Crocodile, it gave him an anthropologist's insight into the ways of Niowra as well as permanent scars. He relives his youthful experience with the aid of tapes recorded during his time among the Niowra.
