<em>Filmmaker: Francois-Philippe Gallois (France)</em>
Modernization has reached the tropical forests of South Cameroon, where the Bagyeli pygmies struggle to maintain their traditions while adapting to new ways of life. With remarkable access, the filmmakers watch the Bagyeli people as they hunt, learn, sing, start businesses, manage conflicts with neighbouring tribes, and deal with the changes in their environment. This is an urgent and compelling documentary on a unique culture in crisis.
