Description

Wambu, a young indigenous individual from New Guinea, belongs to a small and gradually diminishing jungle tribe. The tribe's fate is dictated by a witch doctor who exerts control through superstition and fear.Due to their limited numbers, the tribe can no longer maintain the tradition of headhunting and instead sustains itself through subsistence living. This lifestyle is deeply resented by the witch doctor, who believes that the tribe's spiritual vitality is being eroded.
