The Bagyeli Pygmies. At the fringes of the world
Description
The Bagyeli Pygmies lived from hunting & gathering, in harmony with the Cameroon jungle. Confronted with the outside world, they are becoming aware of their poverty & suffer from being discriminated against by always bigger groups, such as the Cameroonese to start with. The powerful oil company EXXON is building a pipeline in their forest and the World Bank hasn't yet paid them the compensations owed for their expropriation. Angéline, Marcelline & Pascal belong to the generation of Bagyeli who try to adapt to this new way of life.
