Tribe

Suri (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Gen 10, 2005

Bruce Parry goes to live with the Suri tribe of southwest Ethiopia and takes part in the fierce stick fights that are at the heart of Suri culture. These fights, called donga, have traditionally been used to settle scores between villages, and to keep order. But the system is increasingly threatened by the invasion of guns. No longer are the elders looked to for permission that a donga can take place -- with a bullet, retribution can be swift, and fatal.
