Description: | Written by Tracey Groome & Liz Thompson. Filmed secretly in Irian Jaya, this documentary is the story of the rich life of two tribes, the Dani and the Asmat.

While the Dani's future is threatened by Indonesia's assimilation program, the Asmat tribe has faced the destructive invasion of their land, for their forests contain valuable resources to be exploited. |
