Description
Content description from WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/gabra/oclc/85964791):
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.
