<reviews itemIdentifier="WAIA_Part1_J_2004"><review><reviewbody>One had to post the first review in this section. So I took the chance. One of the reasons why we selected WAIA for Globians Film Festival and for this online film collection was that we felt the film maker&#039;s being with the people of this tribe -- and that his documentary was condensed and composed as the opposite of smooth TV docs with their superficiality. Following this movie is not a smooth thing. It takes a lot of time (the 80 min. of the running time) to let us follow and understand what&#039;s going on in this tribe village and why things are done the way it is shown to us by the film makers: an understanding of community establishes and celebrates itself with the means of community rites, as we watch very rare, remote and precious proceedings. </reviewbody>
