90 minutes
French; Nyangatom
Nyangatom are herding people, whose name means Yellow Guns. They live in the lower Omo valley of Ethiopia. They have remained far from foreign influence, due to their isolated area and arid climate, but constantly struggle against rival groups because of scarce resources and the nomadic way of life. Kamaringiro, Cumatak et Lopathimwe tell about their daily life. Most of their days is spent on caring for their cattle. An ox is sacrificed and bad luck read in its entrails, for enemies are still all around.
