Living Mentawai: A Tribe's True Story

I visited a remote location to make a documentary about the Mentawai people. However, this journey offered me much more than expected; This video narrates the life of one of Indonesia's oldest tribes, living in harmony with nature and viewing the forest as a sanctuary for ancestral spirits.
