HIMBA I: LAND OF THE SACRED FIRE (ANGOLA)
This documentary shows the first meeting of Dr. Francisco Giner Abati's team with the Himba tribe of Angola. The team observes the traditional tasks of a cattle-raising culture, including the Himba's construction of huts using branches, manure and sand. Together, they celebrate a banquet preceded by a divination ritual, hear the sounding of an oryx horn trumpet and watch the ritual lighting of a new sacred fire.
