A series of five films about ways of life in different parts of the world.
1: The South-East Nuba
The Nuba live in a very remote part of Africa near the centre of the Sudan. They have a flamboyant culture of their own. Their tradition of body decoration is perhaps the most famous in the world. The sport of their young men, bracelet fighting, is unique. After such contests the girls dance in praise of the young men's bravery.
