The San. The Third Way

Description

Remote tribes around the world are struggling to adapt to the intrusions of the Western civilization. Their survival depends on finding a compromise between traditional and modern ways of life. Romanian anthropologist, Sebastian Tirtirau, has dedicated his life to visiting different tribes and pioneering a 'Third Way' of contact. Unlike previous forms of contact-which meant either dominating and conquering them or simply abandoning the tribes to their problems-Sebastian works with the indigenous people to help build the kind of future they want. In this program, Sebastian works with the San of the Kalahari Desert to overcome obstacles to education.
