From the yellow desert of the Niger to the snowy plains of Greenland: for twelve months, the filmmakers traveled across the world, creating twelve 20-minute reports from twelve different countries. Besides Tuareg in Nigeria and Inuit in Greenland, they followed a Finnish reindeer herdsman tearing across the frozen tundra on his sputtering scooter; the problems of a Namibian couple; the religious inspiration of an Indian woman; and the consequences of oil production in Siberia. In Western Papua, a man tells of the Korowai’s hunting techniques; in Australia, Aboriginals no longer play only the didgeridoo, but also Nintendo games; and in Canada, a man who was born a Nisga’a ties to reconnect with the Nisga’a by learning their language. An 87-year-old woman from China is still busy performing her duties as head of the family; a fisherman from Sardinia preserves the traditional way of fishing, and a blind man from Micronesia ‘sees’ the beauty of Woleai Atoll with his hands.
