Narrated by David Attenborough
Deep in the Amazonian rainforest fewer than 100 Waorani are left to their traditional nomadic lives.
Outsiders call them 'Aucas' or 'savages', a name they apparently richly deserve, having speared to death American missionaries and many others including their own old folks.
But roaming naked in the jungle, their bond with the forest provides all their needs, from food to building materials to weapons.
This film provides an insight into the Waorani philosophy, a simple view of life essential to living in harmony with the rainforest.

Tonight also starring Janet Margolin

By the time he is 25, Virgil Starkwell is known by five aliases and has an amazing criminal record - more by accident than design. During a despondent, purse-snatching stroll through the park, he meets Louise and falls in love. Suddenly, crime has a purpose now that he has a girl to support...
