mcaetano added this video and said
Andy Jillings' famous ethnographical documentary about a Yanomami community.

Part five :
Feast.

__________
Note :

One big quality of this movie (and all versions of it), is Taraema's story. Instead of essentializing anonymous members of an ethnicity, Jillings gave a name and a voice to an individual person, with her own life, and shows values and traditions through their transgression and atypical life trajectories. It cancels a bit the artificial distance of exotism, humanizes his subject, and reminds us that -to the contrary of what many documentaries let us believe- in every societies, all people and all lives are always atypical.
