Скачать или смотреть The Mikea Paradox: when "progress" erases ancient knowledge | SLICE

The Mikea do not define their lives through wealth or poverty.
Their world is shaped by the forest, ancestral knowledge, seasonal rhythms, and rituals passed down for generations.

But today, this way of life is judged through outside standards.
Practices that once ensured balance with nature are restricted or forbidden.

Knowledge that cannot be quantified is dismissed. Traditions are quietly erased in the name of development.

As access to the forest disappears, so does an entire system of understanding the world.

This documentary explores how a people’s heritage is being impoverished not by scarcity, but by the imposition of “civilized” categories that leave no room for ancestral knowledge.
