A series exploring cultures around the world.
Wodaabe - Herdsmen of the Sun
The Wodaabe - 'those who live under the taboo of purity' - consider themselves 'the most beautiful people on earth'. Their slender and graceful young men, many of them seven feet tall, adorn themselves with beads, hats and blue lipstick as part of a tribal celebration in which the young women choose the most beautiful man among them. Distinguished German film director Werner Herzog , maker of Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, Wrath of God, travelled to the southern
Sahara to make this startling documentary, given a surreal quality by the music of Mozart, Handel and Verdi. : DOCUMENTARY: page 8 PICTURE STORY: page 54
