Eszter and Andras learn from members of the tribe what it means to be a woman and a man among the Erbore. Especially that a woman was giving birth to a child without a doctor in a hut, and the child has been given the name 'Eszter'...
We'll have the synopsis for you soon.
The corrupt country is famous for those little planes that drop cargos full of cocaine from Colombia, that afterwards are taken to Europe. At the shores there are 80 islands, but only 20 are inhabited. No school, no roads, no hospital, there is no planting, they only harvest rice, and a radio means the only connection with the outside world... This absolutely isolated community is changing. Christianity is there, though they keep the traditions of animism, their saman gets regular visits even from the capital. They used to have matriarchy, whereas the women made the decisions. Nowadays the tribe wants to be part of our civilization, thus they ask for help from their colonizers. They would even participate in in the cocaine trade to get some money for the tribe.
This time the reporters went to Papua, whereas the naked Dani tribe welcomed them with spears. After a long negotiation the tribe decided to let them stay, and could see an ancient world that was beyond their fantasy. Eszter and Andras saw a tribal fight, and could get to know the tribe as never seen before.
The last cannibals in the world - as many journalists mention the Korowais. Eszter and Andras got there by seven flights and two days of walking to live and get to know them in the wild jungles of Indonesia. They were eating living worms, hunting pitons while the tribe and filmmakers got to know each other better.
Eszter Cseke and Andras S. Takacs are award-winning Hungarian journalists and documentary filmmakers of On the Spot, an acclaimed documentary series in Central Europe. With just two small broadcast cameras and no extra crew, Cseke and Takacs have always gained unique perspectives in the most delicate environments. After a decade of filming across five continents, it is no wonder that their different approach has been called "rare and exclusive" by the BBC. Each year, Cseke and Takacs have focused on a new and compelling subject for the series. Whether it is living with ethnic tribes in Africa and Papua, being embedded with fighters in the Middle East, getting to know children of dictators or travelling the world and examining birth in a myriad of cultures, On The Spot is a unique player in the field of documentary filmmaking. Over the years, the program has garnered a great deal of international recognition. They received the Golden Nymph for Best Documentary at the 53rd Monte Carlo TV Festival, the Press Freedom Award in Strasbourg from the Council of Europe, the Prize for Best International Short Film at the American Documentary Film Festival and the Gold Plaque at the 50th Chicago International Film Festival Television Awards.
