The IK (UGANDA)
In the mountains of northwest Uganda, Dr. Abati’s team seeks out the Ik, known by many through the bestselling book "The Mountain People", in which the tribe is erroneously depicted as a group of hunter-gatherers devoid of love and morals. This documentary shows the Ik to be an agricultural tribe whose members are loving and manifest their happiness during a harvest holiday. Guided by the children, the team members explore a labyrinthine Ik settlement, where they observe a sanitation ritual performed by healers. The influence of missionaries is beginning to transform the Ik’s traditional way of life.
