The Gabra are a little-known people who eke out an existence in one of the hottest places on earth. They inhabit an area of some 20 000 square miles on the frontier between Kenya and the Ethiopian escarpment, their homeland an extension of the Somali desert. A nomadic tribe, they are amongst the last people to live solely by herding. Most of their time is spent tending their animals, notably their beloved camels, a lifestyle that necessitates the splitting of households and moving up to ten or twelve times a year. This film takes a look at their way of life, focusing on the routine of one particular encampment. Though the Gabra are always in search of better forage conditions, their discipline and the cooperation between families enables them to survive their harsh environment.

The Mursi are a tribe living in southwestern Ethiopia, along the Omo River. They are constantly at war about grazing rights with a neighboring tribe, the Bodi - and the most interesting feature of their way of life is the open public debate through which they settle their most important problems, including that of the war. As we learn from the filmmakers, They never shout each other down, never interrupt, always allow every man to have his say - [there is] no chairman, no vote.

Description
Content description from Films Media Group (https://films.com/id/25280/The_Kwegu_Disappearing_World.htm) :
Along the banks of the Omo River in southwestern Ethiopia, an almost feudal relationship plays out between the 500-strong Kwegu, a small group of hunters and cultivators, and the Mursi, who number 5,000. Every Kwegu offers ferrying, honey-gathering, and metalworking services to his Mursi patron. In exchange, the Mursi offers security—defending his Kwegu from attack by other members of the stronger tribe—and the all-important cattle, without which, in the complex tribal bride-price rituals, no Kwegu marriage can take place nor Kwegu children thus be born. Unfortunately for both Mursi and Kwegu, their mutually profitable relationship cannot last much longer. With birth rates falling among the already depleted Kwegu, and once-taboo intermarriages becoming more accepted, the Kwegu are gradually being absorbed into the tribe of the Mursi. Part of the series Disappearing World.
