The Hamar Trilogy
| Released: | 1996 |
| Ages: |
College Adult |
From the renowned Under the Sun series of BBC, this trilogy focuses on the Hamar, an isolated people of southwestern Ethiopia whose traditional lifestyle has been barely touched by the war and the famine in the north. The films concentrate on the powerful and outspoken Hamar women, particularly Duka who in the films matures from a young unmarried girl to a wife and mother with two young children. The twenty-year relationship of the anthropologist with the Hamar people allowed for a remarkably spontaneous portrayal.
