Many Moons away from Home
Description
After filmmaker Paula Palacios hears that the Hadzabe named a new baby in her honor she journeys from her home in France to celebrate with them in Tanzania, and to continue her documentation of their hunter-gatherer society. This program captures Palacios' month-long stay among the Hadzabe and her exploration of modern threats to their community. Palacios accompanies the men on a hunt for meat for the baby-naming feast, but the encroachment of farmland has made large animals scarce. In this case, adherence to Hadzabe custom has devastating effects on the tribe's women and children.
